Pitchcott is a tiny rural parish in Buckinghamshire, England, tucked into rolling agricultural countryside and made up largely of a handful of farms and cottages rather than a compact village. The landscape is quiet and pastoral, with laneways and field boundaries that encourage walkers and those seeking a remote country feel while day-to-day services are provided by nearby market settlements.
The settlement has an unmistakably historic air - field patterns, old farm buildings and traces of earlier settlement give a sense of long continuity - and its economy remains centred on farming with some residents commuting to work further afield. Social life is closely tied to neighbouring communities, so Pitchcott retains a small, close-knit character rather than any significant commercial or cultural hub of its own.
