Amersham is essentially a town of two distinct halves, divided by a steep woodland ridge. Down in the valley, Old Amersham follows the course of the River Misbourne; it's a stretch of wide, medieval streets lined with half-timbered buildings and coaching inns that hint at its history as a major stop on the route between London and Uxbridge. By contrast, Amersham-on-the-Hill developed later, following the arrival of the Metropolitan Railway in 1892. This upper part of town serves as the functional hub, anchored by the station which marks the very end of the Underground line, providing a direct link into the City. Geographically, the town sits within the Chiltern Hills, meaning you are never more than a short walk from the Misbourne Valley’s chalk streams or the ancient beech woods that define the local landscape. It is a practical place where the transition from a busy commuter rail platform to a quiet public footpath across the fields happens in a matter of minutes.
