Coombe Hill , Wendover
Coombe Hill, near Wendover, stands 257m (843ft) above sea level (about 3m lower than the summit of the hill) and is crowned with an impressive monument to the Boer War and is a popular viewpoint. The memorial was erected, and unveiled, on 4th November 1904 to the memory of the men from Buckinghamshire who had died in the Boer War. Since it was erected it has been struck by lightning, virtually demolishing it, in 1939 it was restored which then caused problems during World War 2 when it became necessary to camouflage it to avoid it being used as a sighting landmark by enemy aircraft.
On a clear day you get to see a spectacular view across miles of the Aylesbury Vale.  This is a favourite place for dog walkers and families flying kites.
