Explore the Chilterns with confidence – new accessibility hub launched!

Visitors to the Chilterns National Landscape can now plan trips with ease thanks to our new Accessibility Hub.

The hub showcases a range of easy-access countryside sites suitable for all ages and abilities, complete with videos and guides that provide practical information about terrain, facilities, and what to expect on arrival.

The hub also provides information on support groups and accessibility resources, as well as virtual tours to help plan trips ahead of time.

Local Chilterns businesses can also access online guidance and resources to help improve accessibility. The hub also highlights our ongoing commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion.

Whether you’re planning a visit, supporting someone to explore the Chilterns, or working to improve access in your local community or business, the hub gives you the tools and information to make the Chilterns easier for all to enjoy.
