Butler's Cross is a small hamlet centred on a rural junction in Buckinghamshire, a few miles north of Princes Risborough on the wooded slopes of the Chiltern Hills. Its setting of rolling arable land, hedgerows and country lanes gives it a distinctly rural feel despite good road links to nearby towns.
The settlement is largely residential and agricultural, with scattered cottages and smallholdings rather than a high street; the place name hints at its historic role as a local crossroads and stopping point. Today it’s popular with walkers and cyclists exploring the Chilterns, while many residents commute to larger centres such as Aylesbury, High Wycombe or even London, blending traditional village character with modern commuter life.
