Living in High Wycombe

Posted on by Vincent

Wycombe is a great place to live if you don’t drive. No traffic jams or parking problems. If you live in Abercromby Road, for example, it’s a short walk along Desborough Road to the town centre, with its Eden shopping Mall, library, Hospital. If you are disabled, there are many facilities, including https://www.shopmobilityhighwycombe.co.uk/ You’ll pass the Bus Station, which can start you on your way to anywhere in the world: trains to London and Birmingham; bus 104 to Heathrow airport. Wycombe is surrounded by an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or AONB.

But then there are country walks a half-mile from the town centre. See photos below:

good old Chiltern Rangers. They help preserve and nurture wild species in all our public open spaces
steps have been added to the steep parts

this path will take us to Wycombe High Girls’ Grammar School where my daughter attended from 2000

 I return down Marlow Hill and go through its entrance to Wycombe Hospital. Here’s someone waiting to be let into the Infection Control Dept, where Karleen worked for many years
