Amersham (about 2.5 miles) and Beaconsfield (about 3.5 miles) both have their historic old and new towns offering multiple shopping facilities, restaurants, coffee houses and either a Chiltern or Metropolitan line station for the London commuter.
Sports enthusiasts are well catered for with tennis, riding, squash, golf, cricket, rugby and football clubs in the area.
