St Bartholomew's Church, Fingest

Highlight • Religious Site

This 12th century church's tower has quite unusual twin gables; and there is, apparently, only one other church in Britain that has such a design. Only one other church in Britain is thought to share this design. The tower once had two bells in it, but only one remains, dating back to 1830. Worth having a look!

View of Fingest Village from Finest Wood

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Chiltern Way long distance walking path climbs up the hill from Fingest through the wood to the summit of the hill in Adam's Wood. The woodland is a nice-mixed woodland with nice views back to Fingest village. The church with its unusual double spire is easily visible.

Watery Lane

Highlight • River

Watery lane does its name some justice. It’s very watery. It is less clear why you’d call it a lane tho. By bike you could try it, hoping you don’t need to put your foot down (which quite possibly you wouldn’t need to) but by foot it’s a guarantee for wet feet unless you have proper wellies on…

Turville Village

Highlight • Structure

This is a spectacularly picturesque village in the heart of the Chiltern Hills. Almost everything about it screams "quaint and English". Little wonder that this was where a lot of the sitcom "The Vicar of Dibley" was shot.

At the foot of Turville Hill (easy to climb in a few minutes from the village), the village has the lovely St Mary the Virgin Church and a terrific pub. Overlooking the village from the hill is the Cobstone Windmill. In the spring and summer, the beautiful houses and their gardens are teeming with colourful flowers.

Of beautiful English villages, this is one of the best I've ever seen. It makes you feel you're in the Cotswolds. That kind of thing.
