The forests are about 3 miles (4.8 km) south of Yardley Hastings in Northamptonshire, and about the same distance north of Olney in Buckinghamshire.

Famous quotes containing the word chase:
“We like the chase better than the quarry.... And those who philosophize on the matter, and who think men unreasonable for spending a whole day in chasing a hare which they would not have bought, scarce know our nature. The hare in itself would not screen us from the sight of death and calamities; but the chase, which turns away our attention from these, does screen us.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
