Location
This historic, pretty village is situated in the county of Buckinghamshire, approximately 6 miles north-west of Tring.

Much of the core village architecture is ‘Tudor Revival' in style, erected by the Rothschild family in the 19th century as homes for employees of their Mentmore Estate. Many of these properties still display the cypher 'H de R', in recognition of Hannah de Rothschild, along with the year of construction. They remained part of the Mentmore Estate until well into the 20th century, but today are all privately owned.
Communication links nearby include the A41, A5, and M1. There are mainline train stations in Tring and Leighton Buzzard (London Euston in approx. 35 and 40 mins respectively), and Aylesbury (London Marylebone in around 55 mins).

The village plays host to many community activities and, for walkers and ramblers, some of the finest countryside is to be found on the doorstep. Nearby towns offer a comprehensive range of shopping and recreational facilities, from the boutiques, restaurants and coffee shops in the market towns of Tring and Leighton Buzzard, to the department stores, leisure centres, theatres and multi-screen cinemas of Aylesbury and Milton Keynes.

Schooling is excellent, with Wingrave C-of-E Combined School, Cottesloe School in nearby Wing, and Grammar Schools in Aylesbury.
