The Chilterns are a range of chalk hills in eastern England, near London — mostly to the north-west of the city, through counties such as Buckinghamshire. People say the Chilterns the way they say the Alps: the name already means the whole line of hills, not one peak. They are not high mountains. They are green, with beech woods, small towns, and many people who travel into London for work. You will see the name on maps, in weather talk, and in British books. Always the Chilterns in this place-name use, with a capital C.
