Chinnor is a ward centred on the large village of the same name in the district of South Oxfordshire, in the county of Oxfordshire, England. It sits on the lower slopes of the Chiltern Hills, with notable chalk downland such as Whiteleaf Hill and the Whiteleaf Cross giving the area a distinctly rural, scenic character despite its proximity to bigger towns.
The ward mixes commuter and local village life: many residents travel to nearby centres for work but there is a strong local community, visible in village amenities, schools, clubs and the preserved Chinnor and Princes Risborough heritage railway. Historic buildings, former quarrying and agricultural links survive alongside newer housing, and local conservation of chalk grassland supports interesting wildlife and walking opportunities for residents and visitors alike.
