UK travel: Foraged feasts and BFG footprints: my car-free break in the Chilterns

Travel News & Books: New bus routes make it easier to explore the rural idyll that inspired Milton, Roald Dahl, and David Bowie. These picturesque landscapes, characterized by lush greenery and enchanting woodlands, offer an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Last autumn, our author immersed herself in the woods and fare of Buckinghamshire, savoring the unique culinary experiences that the region has to offer, from cozy pubs to local markets brimming with seasonal produce. As she wandered through charming villages and along winding trails, she uncovered stories of the literary legends who once found inspiration in this tranquil setting, making her journey not just a travel experience, but a deeper connection to the rich cultural heritage of this remarkable area.
