Chinnor is a large village and civil parish in the district of South Oxfordshire in Oxfordshire, England, sitting on the gentle scarp of the Chiltern Hills. The parish blends chalk grassland and former quarry sites on Chinnor Hill with a compact historic centre of stone cottages and a medieval parish church, reflecting a long history of agriculture and local quarrying for building stone.
Today Chinnor has a lively community spirit with village clubs, pubs and regular events, and the preserved Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway brings enthusiasts and visitors; many residents commute to London, Oxford and nearby towns such as Princes Risborough, so the parish combines rural character and good transport links with easy access to walks on the Chiltern Hills and strong local interest in wildlife and conservation.
