Great Kimble is a small village in Buckinghamshire, England, tucked on the northern slopes of the Chiltern Hills a short drive from Princes Risborough and Aylesbury. It sits in the civil parish of Great and Little Kimble-cum-Marsh and retains a distinctly rural feel: farmland, woodland and chalk downland shape the landscape while a modest railway halt gives commuters a link to nearby towns and to London.
The locality is rich in history and landscape archaeology, with prehistoric barrows and ancient trackways such as the Icknield Way nearby and local place‑name lore that hints at very old origins. Today the village combines agricultural roots with a lively village community - pubs, a hall and local events - making it a quiet but culturally rooted part of the Chilterns fringe.
