Places of interest

    Princes Risborough lies in the lee of the Chiltern Hills, mid-way between Aylesbury and High Wycombe and is approximately 35 miles North West of London and 20 miles East of Oxford. This popular market town offers a post office, banks, a leisure centre and a good range of local shops as well as Tesco and Marks and Spencer supermarkets. The oldest part of the town lies around the parish church of St. Mary. The church is a handsome building of flint and stone, originally of the 13th century, but with Tudor additions and alterations. The mainline railway provides excellent access to London Marylebone from either Monks Risborough or Princes Risborough. The M40 motorway provides fast access to London or Birmingham and the rest of the motorway network. Princes Risborough is one of the few towns that sits on The Chiltern Ridgeway, and as such is a very popular place for walkers, both serious, and less so. There are many footpaths, bridleways, circular walks, and interesting historical sites to visit in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The area offers some of the finest views in the Chilterns, with an abundance of interesting and unusual natural history and is an excellent place to see Red Kites soaring over the hills. For the keen cyclist The Phoenix Trail, part of route 57 of the National Cycle Network, is an award winning cycle route that follows the disused railway line from Princes Risborough to Thame (some 6 miles). There are many interesting sculptures and excellent views along the Trail, which is well signposted from The Town Centre, and the Railway Station. For golfers there are eighteen-hole golf courses at Ellesborough and High Wycombe and nine hole courses at both Whiteleaf and Saunderton Lee. Princes Risborough has its own tennis club and there are local Rugby Football Clubs at Aylesbury, Chinnor, High Wycombe and Thame.
