Outdoors, Parks, and Nature in the Aylesbury Vale

Swans, Ducks, Moorhens, and the occasional Canada Geese, Cormorants and the elusive Kingfisher can all be spotted along the towpath of the canal. In the fields out-skirting Aylesbury you can see a variety of wildflowers, wildlife, and farm animals; Rabbits, Owls, Horses, Sheep, Cows, and more birds than I can identify. Much of the wildlife such as Foxes, Badgers, and Hedgehogs come out mostly at night, though can sometimes be seen in the early morning or at dusk.

The Chiltern Hills are a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. A chalk escarpment with The Ridgeway National Trail starting at Ivinghoe Beacon.

If you want to get up close to farm animals such as Alpacas, Horses, Donkeys, and more, why not give Animal Antiks in North Marston a try? With Animal Encounters, Alpaca Walks, and Mini Farmer Experiences on offer. Or Abbots View Alpaca Walks is another popular experience in Aston Abbotts. The Bucks Goat Centre is nearer town in Stoke Mandeville.
