It depends where you want to go in the Chilterns, but the AONB is well connected, on the UK motorway network. Major routes into the AONB and its surrounding towns includeː
By train
Into Pangbourne, Goring and Streatley and Cholsey, use Great Western Railway services direct from London Paddington, Reading, Didcot Parkway and Oxford.
By plane
London Heathrow Airport and Luton Luton Airport are close to the Chiltern Hills with good road connections to Chiltern towns and villages.
A network of small routes pass along the length of the Chiltern Hills. The roads are suitable for all cars and motorbikes, but some larger vans and HGVs may struggle on more rural roads.
