Whiteleaf Barrows
Date Added: 3rd Nov 2014
Site Type: Long Barrow
Country: England (Buckinghamshire)
Visited: Yes. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 3
Whiteleaf Barrows submitted by thecaptain on 18th Oct 2006. On the top of the hill above Whiteleaf Cross there are several ancient remains, including three prehistoric barrows.
The most obvious barrow, a neolithic longbarrow, is to be found just to the southeast of the top of the giant chalk cross, and this has in recent years been re-excavated and restored, after many years of erosion.

Log Text: Why would you want to drive to something like this and make that the first option? The best walk is up Kop Hill, then into Brush Hill Nature reserve, along the path, it is easy to find. The other two aren't quite as easy and the site calls one a mill mound, but why would you build a mill mound when you already have this? Walk down Peter's Lane, a bit of a rat run (all those people driving to see the monument), but managable. Bus stop for the 300 at the bottom, called Peter's Lane.
