The Lee is a small, scattered village and civil parish in Buckinghamshire, tucked into the rolling chalk of the Chiltern Hills. It keeps a classic rural feel with weatherboarded and flint cottages gathered around a village green and pond, a historic parish church and narrow lanes that still feel quite secluded despite being within easy reach of Chesham and Great Missenden.
Historically centred on agriculture and common land, the community now mixes working farms with people who commute into London and nearby towns, and there is a strong emphasis on local conservation and community life. Regular village events, a village hall and traditional pub help sustain social ties, while the surrounding Chiltern landscape makes it popular with walkers and those seeking a quiet country lifestyle.
