Where to go
Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
Dive into a haven of biodiversity and serenity in the Chiltern Hills. Cycle Chilterns Cycleway or wander walking paths through beech woodlands and ancient pathways to experience this AONB’s panoramic views of its rare landscape made up of dramatic chalk escarpment. Nature enthusiasts can also look forward to spotting red kites circling overhead as well as rare species like the glow-worm. For a hike into the past, explore Ridgeway—an ancient track that snakes through the Chilterns. Nearby riverside campsites on the Thames cater to tents and caravans, boasting amenities such as electrical hookups, sanitary facilities, and wifi access as well as caravan holiday home rentals.

Windsor Great Park has a sprawling landscape full of gardens, woodlands, and lakes, like Cow Pond. Campers can hike Long Walk, created by King Charles II, leading to Windsor Castle or explore Savill Garden, showcasing a beautifully curated collection of plants from around the world. After a day of exploration at Adventure Play for kids or on Queen Anne’s Ride or Virginia Water walks, retire to nearby pet-friendly campsites that provide both tent and caravan accommodations as well as clean washrooms, electric hookups, and laundry facilities.

The area is dotted with campsites that merge seamlessly into the landscape, offering facilities like tent and caravan pitches, fresh water supplies, and waste disposal points.
