This beautiful village sits high in the Chiltern Hills to the north-west side of High Wycombe, abutting the National Trust Hughenden Manor and Park and surrounded by green belt land in the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The common and surrounding woodland are the focal point of the village and are a dream for keen walkers or cyclists. Residents enjoy a selection of shops on the village High Street and two other parades ideal for everyday needs, with two popular pubs also within the village.

A reliable and regular bus service goes through the village into High Wycombe and in the car residents can reach transport links such as J4 of the M40 or High Wycombe train station (Chiltern Line to London Marylebone) in just a few minutes.
