The village just 30 minutes from London among UK’s prettiest
Just 30 minutes away from London is the village of Hambleden in Buckinghamshire.
Sharing why Hambleden made the list, Fine and Country said: “Hambleden, Buckinghamshire, is a picturesque winter village with its timeless brick-and-flint cottages and serene countryside setting.
“The historic St. Mary the Virgin Church adds a charming focal point, while scenic trails through the Chiltern Hills provide peaceful winter walks.
“The village pub offers a cosy retreat, and local shops exude a traditional charm.
“Hambleden’s tranquil beauty and rich heritage make it an enchanting winter escape.”
The village is just a 30-minute train journey away from London via Paddington.
Or you can drive to Hambleden via the M4, which takes around one and a half hours.
Hambleden has many aspects that help its “picturesque” claims, largely thanks to the Culden Faw Estate that spans 3,500 acres of woods, parkland and a sweeping chalk valley, the estate is a mighty view from the village.
The estate also offers views from the Oxfordshire Way and rolling water meadows with frontage onto the River Thames.
With its traditional brick and flint cottages, church and natural surroundings, Hambleden has appeared in films such as Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, 101 Dalmatians, Sleepy Hollow, and Into the Woods.
