Location

Lewknor is a particularly lovely village situated at the foot of the Chiltern Hills and within a designated conservation area. There are beautiful walks in all directions and the area is popular with ramblers and bird watchers. The village has an historic 12th century church, public house and a successful primary school. The town of Watlington is only two and a half miles distant while the proximity of the M.40 provides easy access to the Midlands, London and the regional business centres of Oxford and High Wycombe.
