Princes Risborough is a vibrant market town with plenty of charm. A train station in the town centre keeps residents connected to Oxfordshire and London in under an hour, with quick bus links to the surrounding towns, including the popular High Wycombe and Aylesbury.
Based between the Aylesbury Vale and the Chiltern Hills, it’s surrounded by rolling countryside and beautiful green space. Yet it can be reached from the M40, making it a convenient, peaceful escape with easy access to the city for work or for leisure time.
An attractive landmark for the area is the nearby chalk hill carving, the Whiteleaf Cross, which can be enjoyed on a number of scenic walks. Other points of interest include the Lyde Gardens and the Brush Hill nature reserve, offering perfect picnic spots.
Strollers can rest their legs at a number of quintessential British pubs, including the Pink and Lily and The Whiteleaf Cross, with a vast choice of other local pubs in the surrounding villages. However, there’s also a great selection of contemporary alternatives, such as Dukes Wine Bar and The Manor Coach House.
Local produce is displayed on a bustling street market every Thursday, with a mixture of high-street favourites, independent boutiques and coffee shops also available in the town centre. For bigger shopping trips, malls such as Friar’s Square Shopping Centre, Eden Shopping Centre and Broadfields Retail Park are all just a short drive away, as well as lots of theatres, cinemas and community clubs.
As a perfect place to live for families, a number of schools are in the area, including Princes Risborough Primary School, and Princes Risborough School, which offers secondary education.
