Buckinghamshire, one of the loveliest of the Home Counties, contains the Chiltern Hills, the River Thames and the rolling acres of Aylesbury Vale. A county of fascinating contrasts, with tranquil country walks, unspoiled villages, country parks and vibrant market towns. Buckinghamshire Tourist Information can be found in many towns throughout the County.
In the south west of Buckinghamshire, Princes Risborough on the Icknield Way is worth a visit, to see the many 16th century houses and its brick Market House with open arcades. This is the ideal base for exploring the Chiltern Hills and Whiteleaf Hill.
Picturesque Wendover, renowned for fine eating places and antique shops, nestles into the edge of the Chiltern Hills - the focal point is the clock tower, built in 1842 which now houses the Buckinghamshire Tourist Information centre. The Ridgeway National trail leads through Wendover Woods up to Coombe Hill, and 33 miles of footpaths surround the town.
The south east of Buckinghamshire has many interesting attractions and pretty market towns. Amersham is divided into top Amersham, a thriving commercial centre and Old Amersham, worth visiting to see the half-timbered buildings and period cottages. The town holds outdoor markets and has a good selection of shops.
Great Missenden is an especially beautiful town with several churches and old buildings. A Bookshop called The Tardis Bookshop is located in Great Missenden High Street.
