Longwick-cum-Ilmer is a compact civil parish in Buckinghamshire, England, encompassing the villages of Longwick, Ilmer and Owlswick. It sits on the gentle outskirts of the Chiltern Hills near Princes Risborough, characterised by rolling farmland, lanes and pockets of older cottages and farm buildings that hint at the area’s long rural history.
Historically rooted in agriculture, the parish today is a mix of agricultural activity, small local businesses and residents who commute to larger towns and London thanks to nearby road and rail links. Social life is typically village-centred, with a strong community spirit seen in local clubs, the village hall and occasional fetes and events, while a number of historic buildings and church sites reflect its long-settled past.
