West Wycombe Village and Hill

National Trust. Visited. C.2005 The village main street is lined with old cottages and inns of architectural interest.
You can drive to the top of the hill if a steep and lengthy climb does not appeal. On top of the hill are the church with the golden ball on top of it (not NT), and beyond it the Dashwood Mausoleum (not NT) Both are well worth a visit.
The Mausoleum is a large and striking affair. The interior can be mostly seen from the churchyard, but a better view can be found by walking around the outside of the churchyard to reach the Mausoleum entrance with its gate and classical pillars. The interior walls are lined with niches containing funerary urns. Revisited August 2024
