The Belle Vue is a quaint back street pub and you probably won't find many pubs that have such a relaxed, familiar atmosphere that feels like you want to make it 'Your Local' instantly.

Visited this National Trust property which used to belong to Disraeli. The house is interesting and the story of Disraeli's two faiths (Jewish & Christian) was interesting as was the use of the hosue during the second world war for creating target maps of Europe. The volunteer guides were knowledgeable, attentive and interesting. Well worth a visit.

Been meaning to go again for ages as not been since I was at school - really sweet little place - few bits of great living history including a World War I trench and a Victorian Kitchen - the original Red Lion and lots of old photos of the town - little gift shop with some pretty hand made crafts and local produce - mostly reasonable prices - along with some nice cake and tea/coffee. Limited but free parking and free entry - great thing to do on a rainy day in the school holidays. Lots of courses and events as well - highly recommend

Sat on top of West Wycombe hill next to the Dashwood family mausoleum, St Lawrence's Church is a plain on the outside, except of course the glided golden ball that sits atop its tower. The interior however is lovely, stunning painting and fabulous painted ceiling. I don't believe it is open all the time but I know they do tea and cake on a Sunday afternoon. Worth going to visit.

West Wycombe Park, house, was built during the 18th century, (1740-1780), Under the instruction of its owner, Sir Francis Dashwood, 2nd Baronet. It was built in the neo-classical style, very italianate,unusual for English architecture. Very elaborate furniture & decoration adorn its interior, although, when visiting, only the ground floor can be explored, as the upper floors are still occupied by the Dashwood family.The house lies in 45 acres of grounds, with small temples dotted around, making it a very beautiful place to visit. The property was given to the National Trust in the 1940s by the 10th baronet, its open during the summer months, although the grounds can be explored most of the year. The property is accessed via the High st running through West Wycombe village, which is also Nat Trust, in the village, you'll a couple of lovely old pubs & an excellent tea room, the grounds of W W park, does not have a tea room.The house has been used as a backdrop in many tv dramas, including Downton abbey & Cranford. I thoroughly recommend a visit to this beautiful house & its grounds.

I booked the Fairways Suite (upstairs) for a surprise party and I’m so glad I did! The staff were helpful, professional and polite. Emily, who I was in contact with to arrange the event, was helpful and answered any questions. She took time to show me around the venue and gave detailed explanations about what would be suitable in each room. I really appreciate the effort the team put in to make our event enjoyable and manageable! They were clear on what would be allowed (due to current restrictions) and what they could provide. When I arrived to put up decorations (they gave me time to set up before the event) I found the staff had set out the tables, covers and chairs according to my seating plan. They had also hand written the place names for each table which was a lovely surprise and saved me a job! The staff were organised, efficient and friendly. They did a great job serving food and running the bar whilst respecting social distancing measures. We had a fantastic night. Thank you!

I'll be back, I came to watch Rise of Skywalker in Screen 8. The seats were comfy, the popcorn warm, the staff friendly and really it was a pleasant experience watching a film here. I'll definitely return and the price was OK too. £9 for an adult compared to the £10+ Cineworld have.
