The Risboroughs is an electoral ward in Buckinghamshire, England, centred on the neighbouring settlements of Princes Risborough and Monks Risborough. It sits on the southern edge of the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with chalk downland, woodlands and popular walking routes that give the area a distinctly rural feel despite good transport links to larger towns and London.
With market‑town roots and medieval origins, the ward blends commuters, local businesses and some light industry with a strong community ethos; the local rail link and the preserved Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway add practical connections and heritage interest. Green spaces, independent shops and regular community activities help maintain a village atmosphere even as housing development and changing demographics reshape the place.
