Buckinghamshire Travel Guide - Towns and villages

Aylesbury    Aylesbury took over from Buckinghamshire as the county town in 1725, and since that time has grown in size and importance. However, there is comparatively little in the way of recognised tourist attractions in the town, it is surrounded by a number of popular visitor destinations, including Waddesdon Manor, Claydon House, and Stowe Landscape Garden. more...

Brill    Brill's nickname is "Brill on the hill", and that sums up the village location quite nicely.

Eton    Eton is often the forgotten sibling of Windsor, just a short walk away across the Thames on the Berkshire bank.

The chief attraction is, of course, the famous public school, founded in 1440 by Henry VI. more...

Marlow    Marlow has a reputation as one of the prettiest of many pretty villages scattered along the banks of the Thames River, and the reputation is highly deserved. Marlow was a market town during the Saxon period, and grew in prosperity throughout the Middle Ages, but it was really not until the Georgian period that the town gained some measure of prominence as a fashionable place to settle. Several fine Georgian buildings remain in the High Street and West Street, but the oldest building is the Old Parsonage on St. Peter Street. more...

Wendover    Wendover is an attractive little town nestled in the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Ridgeway Path long distance trail runs right down Wendover High Street on its way through the Chilterns to Ivinghoe Beacon. And that highlights one of Wendover's chief attractions; the area is blessed with a wide variety of enjoyable walking trails through some of southern England's most enjoyable countryside. more...

Wing    Most tourists pass through the little village of Wing without a second glance as they make their way to Ascott, the ornate stately home on the edge of the village.
