Located in south-eastern Buckinghamshire and the largest town in the Chiltern District, Chesham lies in a steep sided valley 28 miles north-west of London. Assimilating the old and the new, Chesham is a successful combination of market town; industrial centre; commuter dormitory and bustling community.
The town has a population of over 20,000 with many residential areas, businesses, industrial centres and a pedestrianised High Street featuring numerous specialist individual shops, alongside national retailers. The Elgiva Theatre, picturesque Lowndes Park and the open-air heated swimming pool at The Moor are just some of the many public amenities available in the town.
Surrounded by the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Chesham is a great place to begin exploring the Chilterns countryside and is the starting point for many local walks.
