Buckinghamshire

One of the home counties (the counties that surround London) Buckinghamshire was originally named after an Anglo-Saxon landowner- Bucca. With some of our most famous stately homes and manors, beautiful canals, part of the Chiltern Hills (an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) and the setting for TVs Midsommer Murders, the county is a great place to visit. Older buildings are often made from local flint and red brick.
