Hotels in Buckinghamshire

Buckinghamshire is famous for its mix of countryside and grand country houses. The Chiltern Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, run through the county and draw walkers and cyclists year-round. It’s also known as the setting for countless film and TV productions thanks to Pinewood Studios. On top of that, Buckinghamshire has ties to well-known figures like Roald Dahl, who lived in Great Missenden, and Prime Ministers who have used Chequers, the official country residence, just outside Aylesbury.

The county is known for its picture-perfect landscapes, historic estates such as Waddesdon Manor and Cliveden, and its links to literature and history. Many people also know it for Bekonscot, the world’s oldest model village and the Roald Dahl Museum & Story Centre. Food lovers know Buckinghamshire for its farm shops and cosy pubs, while nature fans enjoy its scenic walks and the wildlife in the Chilterns.

Buckinghamshire itself is a county in Southeast England. It doesn’t contain other counties, but it borders several: Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Berkshire and Greater London.

Buckinghamshire is neither a city nor a town – it’s a county. Within it are towns like Aylesbury, High Wycombe, Buckingham and Marlow, along with lots of villages and hamlets.
