Buckinghamshire has very good links to the north and west end of London via road and rail and is correspondingly popular with commuters.

Buckingham in the north is a market town with a good range of shops and a university. Heading east towards the Wadden Chase, there are some attractive villages until the outskirts of Milton Keynes 'no beauty spot' begins to adversely influence the landscape.

South of Milton Keynes lies the Aylesbury Vale which is dominated by Quainton Hill and Pitchcott Hill at its centre. Close to these hills is the electricity substation at East Claydon from which five lines of pylons run to different parts of the county. Allied with the large aerial mast site at Whitchurch, this makes picking the right spot more important than ever.

Aylesbury is a large expanding market town of no particular architectural merit. The country south and west of here back towards the M40 is far more undulating than it is further north. Houses are generally more expensive as they are in the vicinity of the small towns of Long Crendon and Haddenham. London on the M40 is approximately 1 hour away with trains taking under an hour from Haddenham to Marylebone. Although convenient, north Buckinghamshire lacks the beauty and charm of its neighbour Oxfordshire.

The county splits easily in two with most of south Buckinghamshire being the hub for commuters into north and west London. There is a small pocket of countryside between the M4 and M40, north of Slough, which is surprisingly villagey yet minutes from London. Houses tend to be few and far between in this area and, consequently, sell well, often privately. North of the M40 on to the edge of the Chiltern Hills, areas such as Beaconsfield, Amersham and the Chalfonts are excellent for commuting into northern London; the Chalfonts, Amersham and Chesham are remarkable in the fact that you can step straight on to the Metropolitan line tube. Further west, the villages and towns are easily commutable with surrounding pretty countryside. The riverside town of Marlow arguably enjoys one of the prettiest stretches of the Thames with excellent access to both M4 and M40 motorways.

Like Berkshire, Buckinghamshire can be divided into two for the country-house buyer: this time, north and south. In between lie the sweeping hills of the Chilterns, acting as a dramatic natural barrier between the commuting towns and villages of the south, easily reached from London, and the more rural but less accessible countryside of the north.

The south tends to have a more fluid population than the north, and a better supply of country houses, but prices are inevitably higher; the completion of the M40 has, however, seen prices in the north rise. The new town of Milton Keynes has also boosted the economy of the north, and has a commuter market of its own.

Buckinghamshire's diverse countryside gives rise to an unusual variety of soils and building materials, including brick, flint and timber. The county crosses the agricultural Vale of Aylesbury, renowned for its duck, rises over the Chilterns and drops down into the Thames Valley; on the fringes of London, the scenery is gentler.

The areas most in demand are in the south, with good commuting links to the capital; they include the Hambledon Valley and the riverside areas of Marlow.
