Whiteleaf Hill, Nature reserve in Princes Risborough, United Kingdom.
The 11-hectare natural site features woodland areas, chalk grasslands, and ancient monuments on the Chilterns escarpment with views across the Vale of Aylesbury.
The first written documentation of the Whiteleaf Cross chalk carving on the northern slope dates from 1742, though its origin remains subject to investigation.
The Ridgeway National Trail, extending 85 miles through the reserve, represents one of England's earliest transportation routes with archaeological significance.
Visitors can access the site through Peters Lane car park, which offers firm paths suitable for wheelchairs and leads to designated picnic areas.
World War I practice trenches remain visible near the parking area, providing evidence of military training activities from the early 20th century.
