Wendover is a small market town in Buckinghamshire, perched on the edge of the Chiltern Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The settlement nestles beneath hilltops such as Coombe Hill and sits beside Wendover Woods, both popular with walkers and mountain bikers; the historic Wendover Arm of the Grand Union Canal also reaches the locality, adding a touch of industrial heritage to the rural setting.
With origins as a coaching and market centre, Wendover retains a compact high street of independent shops, cafes and pubs and an active community life, while many residents commute to London or nearby Aylesbury thanks to good rail and road links. The town balances its leisure and heritage attractions - seen in landmarks like St Mary the Virgin church and the Coombe Hill memorial - with a quietly prosperous, villagey atmosphere.
