Hawk Conservancy Trust

The Stone of Scone —also known as the Stone of Destiny, and often referred to in England as The Coronation Stone—is an oblong block of red sandstone that was used for centuries in the coronation of the monarchs of Scotland, and later the monarchs of England and those of the United Kingdom. Historically, the artefact was kept at the now-ruined Scone Abbey in Scone, near Perth, Scotland. It is also known as Jacob's Pillow Stone and the Tanist Stone, and in Scottish Gaelic, clach-na-cinneamhain.

Nature Attractions In Stonor

1. Stonor Park & Gardens Stonor
Stonor is a mostly cultivated and wooded village centred 3.8 miles north of Henley-on-Thames in South Oxfordshire, England. It takes up part of the Stonor valley in the Chiltern Hills which rises to 120 m above sea level within this south-east part of the civil parish. Stonor House close to the village centre has been the home of the Stonor family for more than eight centuries. The house and park are open to the public at certain times of the year. The house has a 12th-century private chapel built of flint and stone, with an early brick tower. There are also signs of a prehistoric stone circle in the park, which gives the place name its etymology.

TV filming location -- The Vicar of Dibley

The picturesque village of Turville in Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom, which is best known for doubling for Dibley in the television comedy series The Vicar of Dibley. The church that doubled for St Barnabus [sic] Church is St Mary The Virgin Church.

On the horizon you can see Cobstone Windmill, which also famously featured in the film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

A 10.75 mile circular walk from Saunderton station in the heart of the Buckinghamshire Chiltern hills via the villages of Bledlow and Radnage. The walk took place on Tuesday 24 March 2009 in bright but windy weather.

An 11 mile walk through the southern Chiltern hills between Christmas Common and Stonor. The walk went via the villages of Ibstone, Fingest and Turville. The video contains footage of the fascinating church at Fingest with its twin gabled tower, plus views inside the church at Turville. Also at Turville, there are views of the famous Cobstone Windmill which featured in the film Chitty Chitty Bang Baang.

Time Out Walks, Book 1, Walk 22, Haslemere Circular. 24/7/13

Another trip around this very pleasant 9 miler in the Surrey countryside.
Shortly after leaving the rail station, it's not long before the walker is entering the South Downs National Park, though much of the land surrounding the town is National Trust owned anyway.
The morning section is mainly delightful mixed woodland walking prior to reaching the village of Fernhurst for the suggested lunch time stop.
After lunch, the scenery is still pleasingly wooded, but with more heathland as the walker ascends past the 'Temple of Winds' (well worth the additional detour!) and onto the highest point in the National Park (and Sussex!), the 919 feet (280m) of Black Down.
A great shorter walk that is a delight at any time of the year.

Goring Circular Chiltern Walk via River Thames Path 13 June 2009

A 10 mile circular walk from Goring and Streatley Station via the Thames Path to Whitchurch-on-Thames and then through the Chiltern Hills via Wroxhills Wood back to Goring. The walk took place in sunny weather on Saturday 13 June 2009.
