Farmland Landscape of The Chiltern Hills, Oxfordshire, England, UK, GB.
The Chiltern Hills or, as they are known locally and historically, the Chilterns, form a chalk escarpment across Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, and Bedfordshire.[1] In 1965, a large part of the Chilterns was designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The Chilterns Hills are northwest of London. They cover an area of 322 square miles (830 km2) stretching 45 miles (72 km) in a southwest to a northeast diagonal from Goring-on-Thames to Hitchin, and are 12 miles (19 km) at their widest.[2] The northwest boundary of the hills is clearly defined by the escarpment. The dip slope is by definition more gradual, and merges with the landscape to the southeast.[3] The southwest endpoint is the River Thames. The hills decline slowly in prominence in northeast Bedfordshire
