Up a lane at Spriggs Alley, high above Chinnor in the Chilterns, the Sir Charles Napier is an old flint-and-brick inn set among beechwoods, its garden and candlelit dining rooms dotted with sculpture. It has cooked ambitious modern British food for decades and held a Michelin star until 2017. Open for lunch and supper; worth booking. Saunderton station is about 5km east.
