Chesham Bois sits in Buckinghamshire on the leafy fringes of the Chiltern Hills, a semi‑rural parish of commons, woods and winding lanes between the market towns of Chesham and Amersham. Its mix of period cottages, larger Victorian and Edwardian houses and pockets of well‑kept green space gives it a village feel despite good transport links.
The "Bois" element of the name reflects medieval ownership and the area's historic woodland; today the community is largely residential and popular with commuters to London, but retains a strong local identity through village clubs, church and green‑space conservation, with a quieter, conservation‑minded character compared with nearby urban centres.
