County town of Buckinghamshire from the ninth century until Henry VIII gave that status to Aylesbury. Buckingham is a hilly, mainly Georgian town nestling in a loop of the river Ouse. It has several interesting buildings, including a curious castle-like construction, built by Lord Cobham in 1748 as a gaol, and a tiny 15th century chapel on Market Hill, which was once a school. If you are looking for a light snack or tasty meal then Buckingham has a fine selection of public houses, restaurants and cafes. Short term car parking is free and plentiful, making Buckingham an ideal stop-off point on your tour, a base for touring or venue for a day visit. This community has its own website through which you can find out about local information and how your local council is working for you.
