High Wycombe

A large town in the county of Buckinghamshire, England, High Wycombe is fast becoming a popular destination for tourists from across the country.

This is largely due to the number of sites within the town that feature gorgeous views and a rich variety of wildlife, including Chiltern Hills, West Wycombe Caves and West Wycombe Park, that all remain popular with walkers visiting the area. The local history of the area can be studied in the Wycombe Museum and there are a number of buildings around the town featuring architecture from a variety of different eras.

 

Also within the town is a gliding club and two flying schools at Wycombe Air Park on the western edge of the town. There is also a large leisure centre to the south of town where many sporting activities take place. There is also an Olympic-sized swimming pool that can be enjoyed by residents and visitors alike.
