Visit Buckinghamshire and The Chilterns has created some brand-new itineraries for things to do if you find yourself in the county and they can be found on their website at: www.visitbuckinghamshire.org/.

The itineraries are based around a three-day time slot in the county but are packed with ideas for those who are lucky enough to have more time than that.
Buckinghamshire has a wealth of historic homes of cultural significance, and you can revel in a bygone age with trips to the French chateau inspired Waddesdon Manor, the home of PM Benjamin Disraeli at Hughenden Manor, scandal-rocked Cliveden House and Georgian gem Stowe House and Gardens, and more besides.
