The twin villages of Latimer and Ley Hill sit on the rolling chalk of the Chiltern Hills in rural Buckinghamshire, surrounded by commons, woodlands and farmland that give the area a distinctly open, scenic character. They are close to market towns such as Chesham and Amersham, and remain popular with commuters to London while retaining a strong village feel.
Locally notable is Latimer House, a stately manor with historic ties to wartime intelligence, and Ley Hill’s green and common which host traditional fairs, pubs and community events; the economy blends small-scale agriculture, local trades and service businesses with a sizeable commuter population. There’s an active community spirit with clubs, conservation groups and equestrian and walking opportunities that reflect its position within the Chilterns AONB.
