When looking for things to occupy your day, you could consider visiting the Hell-Fire caves. These caves date back to the middle of the 18th century and were originally dug into the hills to mine chalk for roads. However, they became notorious as the home of the Hellfire Club, a group of well-to-do figures of the time who would meet here. The caverns and corridors were converted into banqueting halls and passages and have been a tourist attraction since the 1950s.
West Wycombe Park hosts many events in the area and has a great lake for boating and walking around. The house can be visited as part of the National Trust programme and is much loved by both locals and visitors.
