Ivinghoe is a compact village and civil parish in Buckinghamshire, sitting on the western edge of the Chiltern Hills. The skyline is dominated by Ivinghoe Beacon, a striking chalk hill and National Trust site with Bronze Age barrows that gives wide views across the Aylesbury Vale and attracts walkers, paragliders and nature-lovers.
The village has a clearly historic core of timber-framed houses and a medieval parish church, reflecting its past as a small market settlement. Today the parish remains largely rural, with farming and visitor-focused activities alongside a commuter population with links into London; community life centres on the pub, village hall and the network of footpaths and bridleways that stitch it into the wider Chiltern landscape.
