Chiltern Hills is included in the 2007 Wikipedia for Schools, or is a candidate for inclusion in future versions. Please maintain high quality standards, and make an extra effort to include free images, because non-free images cannot be used on the CDs.

I would like to contest the fact that this wiki says that halton woods is the highest point in this area having lived there for 20 years im very sure the actual highest point is Coombe Hill, Buckinghamshire. i also know that Coombe Hill, Buckinghamshireis one of the highest points in southen england until you get to the south downs. please change this.

You are welcome to change inaccuracies like this yourself - pick the "edit this page" tab. Halton Woods are part of [Wendover Woods]. Someone has already sorted out the highest point's altitude at Haddington Hill for us, which is nice. I have updated the article to this effect. Bazza 19:27, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

I have changed the bit about the Chilterns extending only to Dunstable, this is highly inaccurate, as yoy would miss out Blows Down (between Luton and Dunstable - to the South), Warden and Galley Hill, Sharpenhoe Clappers, Sundon Hills, Barton Hills (including the Ravenburgh Castle site) Telegraph Hill, Deacon Hill,and Offley Hill (the latter ccan be seen from Dunstable Downs and itself can provide a distance view of Cambridge). Most of these areas have brown "The Chilterns" tourist signs.

Also I think it should be pointed out that the hills run South West to North East and that rivers valleys extend to the south through much of the hills (Rivers; Mimram, Lee/Lea, Ver, Gade, Bulborne and so on.--Pandaplodder 12:10, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rating

I added the Hertfordshire project banner (among others) and gave a rating of "start" (although others might have given "stub", given the local importance). The article, IMO, could be improved by a map, an appropriate summary box, historical overview and geology. The various project pages may have useful advice and guidelines.

My only quibblw with the use of the "Outstanding beauty" infobox is that only part of the Chilterns qualifies. Hence use of the "Mountains" box. Comments? Folks at 137 21:53, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
