Amersham

Amersham in Buckinghamshire, England, sits on the edge of the Chiltern Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The town is traditionally split between the cobbled, hilltop Old Amersham with timber-framed buildings and a historic market feel, and the later Victorian suburb of Amersham-on-the-Hill that grew up around the station.

With medieval roots and a long market-town tradition, Amersham today blends independent shops, cafés and antiques traders with a largely commuter economy thanks to fast rail links into London. It remains popular with families and walkers drawn to nearby beech woodlands and chalk streams, and retains a strong local community atmosphere despite its proximity to the capital.
