Chinnor is a large village and civil parish in South Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England, sitting at the foot of the Chiltern Hills. The village is surrounded by rolling chalk downland and beech woodland, with plenty of footpaths and countryside views that make it popular with walkers and cyclists, and it lies within easy reach of Princes Risborough and Thame.
Historically the village expanded through local ironstone quarrying and the coming of the railway, and today it combines historic cottages and traditional pubs with independent shops and an active community life. The preserved heritage line linking Chinnor with Princes Risborough offers nostalgic services and connections onto mainline trains into London, while many residents commute to nearby towns for work.
