Beaconsfield sits in a practical spot in the rolling Chiltern Hills, split effectively into two distinct halves: the historic Old Town and the more functional New Town. The Old Town is defined by its wide, coaching-era high streets and timber-framed buildings, many of which date back hundreds of years to when the town was a major staging post between London and Oxford. In contrast, the New Town grew up around the railway station in the early 20th century and serves as the hub for day-to-day life, containing the main supermarkets and shops. Geographically, it is positioned just outside the M25, making it a gateway to the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty while remaining less than 25 miles from central London. Beyond its famous association with the world’s oldest model village, Bekonscot, the town is characterised by a mix of deep-rooted history - such as its 13th-century annual charter fair - and its proximity to extensive woodland and common land.
