West Wycombe & West Wycombe House
West Wycombe House and its 5000 acre estate is the home of the Dashwood family and has been since 1698. The first Sir Francis Dashwood built a house on the site, although barely any of this original house is visible, as it was incorporated into the extensive remodelling of the house undertaken by his son the second Sir Francis Dashwood.
The house is still substantially as this Sir Francis left it, drawing inspiration from his Grand Tour through Europe in his youth, he created an exquisite Palladian villa that with its porticoes and colonnades would be equally comfortable set in either Italy or Greece.
The current Premier Baronet of Great Britain is Sir Edward Dashwood, 12th. Bt, and he currently resides at West Wycombe Park with his wife and family.
The house today is frequently featured in screen adaptations of literary classics such as Cranford and Little Dorrit and more recently in the television series, Downton Abbey. Other films include W.E., The Importance of being Earnest, I Capture the Castle, The Lost Prince and He Knew He was Right.

West Wycombe Hill
West Wycombe is a pittoresque town in Buckinghamshire, forty miles north-west of London, which was in its entirety acquired by the National Trust in 1929 to protect its 16th and 18th century architecture against modern times. The stately home and gardens of West Wycombe Park are often used to provide splendorous backgounds in movies. The area is dominated by a hill, under which are tunnels and caves, excavated in the 1750s by Sir Francis Dashwood to extract flint for the construction of a straight road to London, and create a private meeting place for his friends of the Hellfire Club. Lord Sandwich and Benjamin Franklin are said to have been regular visitors.
On the top of the hill is an Iron Age hillfort, the Dashwood mausoleum which is used in horrormovies, and a church going back to the 13th century can be seen from miles around. The church was refurbished inside and out to emulate an Egyptian temple, the tower ending in a golden sphere, large enough to hold several people. Who Sir Francis invited here, was treated to a breathtaking panorama.

#exploring St Lawrence church, West Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, UK
St Lawrence's Church is a Church of England church in the parish of West Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England. It sits on top of West Wycombe Hill in a prominent position overlooking the West Wycombe Road, and surrounding villages. West Wycombe Hill is managed by the #NationalTrust, although the church and graveyard are owned by the Church of England. The church resides in the #Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. St Lawrence Church and the mausoleum both occupy similar positions on top of West Wycombe Hill, and the Church tower is visible for many miles around. The top of the tower is the highest point in the Southern Chilterns and on a clear day it is possible to see West London.

Exploring west wycombe hill side,berks,DJI footage,(history in description)
West Wycombe is a small village situated along the A40 road, three miles west of High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England.
Exploring @Haunted Hell Fire Caves,& Orbs?,West Wycombe,Bucks,(History in Description).
The Hellfire Caves (also known as the West Wycombe Caves) are a network of man-made chalk and flint caverns which extend a quarter of a mile (250 metres) underground. They are situated above the village of West Wycombe, at the southern edge of the Chiltern Hills near High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire, Southeast England.
They were excavated between 1748 and 1752 for Francis Dashwood, 11th Baron le Despencer (2nd Baronet), founder of the Dilettanti Society and co-founder of the Hellfire Club, whose meetings were held in the caves. The caves have been operating as a tourist attraction since 1951.
The caves run into the hillside above West Wycombe village and directly beneath St Lawrence's Church and Mausoleum (which were also constructed by Sir Francis Dashwood around the same time the caves were excavated). West Wycombe Park, ancestral seat of the Dashwood family and also a National Trust property, lies directly across the valley. The caves' striking entrance, designed as the façade of a mock gothic church and built from flint and chalk mortar, which was erected in around 1752, can be viewed directly from West Wycombe House.
The unusual design of the caves was much inspired by Sir Francis Dashwood's visits to Italy, Greece, Turkey, Syria and other areas of the Ottoman Empire during his Grand Tour. The caves extend a quarter of a mile (250 metres) underground, with the individual caves or chambers connected by a series of long, narrow tunnels and passageways.
A route through the underground chambers proceeds, from the Entrance Hall, to the Steward's Chamber and Whitehead's Cave, through Lord Sandwich's Circle (named after John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich), Franklin's Cave (named after Benjamin Franklin, a friend of Dashwood who visited West Wycombe), the Banqueting Hall (allegedly the largest man-made chalk cavern in the world), the Triangle, to the Miner's Cave; and finally, across a subterranean river named the Styx, lies the final cave, the Inner Temple, where the meetings of the Hellfire Club were held, and which is said to lie 300 feet (90 metres) directly beneath the church on top of West Wycombe hill. In Greek mythology, the River Styx separated the mortal world from Hades, and the subterranean position of the Inner Temple directly beneath St Lawrence's Church was supposed to signify Heaven and Hell.
The theory that the caves resulted from flint mining is also questionable because the Chiltern Hills flint bed overlies the chalk escarpment and does not have to be mined, except by means of small open flint dells, of which there are many in the area.

Exploring the Haunted Hell Fire Caves at West Wycombe
So today we ventured to the Hell Fire Caves, otherwise known as the West Wycombe Caves in Buckinghamshire.
We didn't knowingly spot any paranormal activity while we trekked through the caves, but we did notice a huge drop in temperature the deeper we went. Of course, this is normal and nothing paranormal about dropping temperature going deep into the ground.
