Surrounded by beautiful countryside, it is a popular destination for walkers and cyclists, with the nearby Wendover Woods offering trails and panoramic views. Wendover's High Street is lined with quaint shops, pubs, and historic buildings. The town is also known for its proximity to the Ridgeway National Trail and the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
