Very conveniently placed not far from both the M25 and M40, but surprisingly green, and screened by good trees. London is only eighteen miles away, and you can reach it by train from Denham Green into Marylebone. If the capital is not for you, visit Windsor for the lovely castle looking almost unreal above the town and valley, and Savill Garden in the Great Park. Also within easy reach is Beaconsfield for the Bekonscot Model Village, Runnymede for its Magna Carta associations, or even Oxford with all the architectural splendours of the colleges. Don’t ignore the Thames – you can enjoy small towns like Marlow and Henley for river trips. For quieter pursuits, visit Cliveden, once the home of the Astors, or West Wycombe Park, both now looked after by the National Trust and for walkers, Denham Country Park, and the Grand Union Canal towpath offers hours of easy exercise.

Important Information
No outfits over 28ft due to access.
Some noise can be expected from the adjacent airfield.
