Pitstone is a village and civil parish in Buckinghamshire, England, sitting on the lower slopes of the Chiltern Hills close to Ivinghoe Beacon. It lies within easy reach of market towns such as Tring and Aylesbury, making it a popular commuter community with good road and rail connections into London.
The parish is notable for the restored Pitstone Windmill and the nearby Pitstone Reservoir, a valued spot for walking, birdwatching and watersports. There’s an active village life centred on the village hall, school, pubs and sports clubs, and the surrounding landscape - part of the classic chalk-and-flint Chiltern countryside with access to long-distance routes like the Ridgeway - gives the area a strong sense of history and outdoor appeal.
