High Wycombe is a thriving market located in the heart of the Chiltern Hills. A unique mix of old and new, the town is steeped in history – from ancient markets and centuries old buildings to secret pagan societies and man-made chalk caves.

The town is small enough explore on foot, without the worry of getting lost.
