Bernwood is a predominantly rural ward in Buckinghamshire, England, characterised by a scatter of small villages, farmland and pockets of ancient woodland. The landscape still shows echoes of its medieval past, with hedged fields, commons and remnant woodlands that preserve a strong sense of place and countryside character.
Its name recalls the old Bernwood Forest, once a royal hunting ground, and that historic legacy influences local conservation and leisure use today. The local economy is largely agricultural with a sprinkling of small businesses, while many residents commute to larger towns for work; socially the ward is defined by parish activities, village halls, pubs and community groups that keep a closely knit rural life alive.
