Lee Common is a small village in Buckinghamshire, England, tucked onto the rolling chalk of the Chiltern Hills and lying roughly between Princes Risborough and Wendover. Set within the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it shows the classic Chiltern mix of beech woodlands, open downland and traditional flint-and-tile cottages, with plenty of footpaths and bridleways that make it popular with walkers and riders.
Historically the "Common" reflects an older pattern of communal grazing and small-scale mixed farming; today the settlement retains a rural, village character while also being home to commuters to London, small farms and local businesses. Community life tends to centre on village events, outdoor pursuits and the surrounding landscape rather than heavy industry, which is key to its quiet, attractive appeal.
