A named place photographed at this map point in Buckinghamshire.
Wain Hill rises to approximately 162 meters (531 feet) above sea level and is composed primarily of Cretaceous chalk. The name "Old Man's Beard" refers to the climbing plant Clematis vitalba, which is often found draped over the landscape, though the hill itself has no specific folklore attached. Its prominence in the Chiltern Hills range contributes to the area's scenic and ecological value.
