Chiltern News is the voice of the Chiltern Society

Free to members, Chiltern News is published quarterly (March, June, September and December) and contains articles of general interest about the Chilterns, together with reports from our various groups on current issues of particular interest.

The magazine is also a forum for members to express their views about local issues and to find out about local events.

Chiltern News is available in selected libraries and tourist information centres, doctors, dentists and hospital outpatient departments, and is on sale at Fox’s Outdoor of Amersham.

If you are a retailer who cares for the Chilterns and you have space available for a few copies of Chiltern News, please contact the Society office on 01494 771250 or .
