Our team of estate agents in Aston Clinton have put together this guide to show you the variety of things to do in this historic village in the south-east of Aylesbury.

Aston Hill Bike Park

Aston Hill Bike Park is a mountain bike venue situated just outside Wendover in Buckinghamshire, on one of the steeper slopes within the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Beauty. The park features five graded downhill (DH) runs, a 4X track and a two-part cross-country (XC) loop. It has been said that the Hill has some of the best riding in the South East of England.

Green Park

Aston Clinton House (also known as Green Park) was a large mansion to the southeast of the village, previously owned by the Rothschild Family. Now operated by The Adventure Learning Charity, Green Park is an 80-acre outdoor activity centre in Aston Clinton that is open to everybody. Their activity programme includes after-school and school holiday activity courses, fun day programmes as well as birthday parties. They have archery, mountain bikes, high ropes and climbing.

Aston Park

Aston Park is a large well-maintained playground with cafe, soft play, stream, skate park, playground and fitness trail.

A hidden treasure, this larger-than-average park is camouflaged from the busy main road by mature trees. Once inside, a secret paradise is to be found for walkers, joggers and those with other sporting and athletic interests including tennis, bowls and outdoor circuit training.

Park benches are provided at regular intervals for spectators and the less active. They can enjoy the view of the Chiltern Hills, while to the perimeter the cows feast in the lush green field. Adjacent are the grounds of the Green Park activity centre and its camp area, and a river runs along the far edge, displaying signs of revitalisation as a restoration project redirects its course. Newly planted black poplar trees enhance the area.

This ideal family spot includes a cafe offering a full range of food and beverages, a social gathering point and a respite from inclement weather. As the Chilterns face the impacts of new development and increasing population, Aston Clinton Park provides a rare amenity – a rural oasis amid the suburban bustle. You’ll find plenty of family-friendly attractions and schools in Aston Clinton, making it an ideal location for young families.
