The small country town of Princes Risborough lies between the Vale
of Aylesbury and the Western Escarpment of the Chiltern Hills, on
the route of the pre-Roman Upper Icknield Way and is dominated by
a chalk hill carving, the Whiteleaf Cross, that is once again clearly
seen for many miles on the approaches to the town, following a restoration
project in 2003.
This Town Guide is published by the Princes Risborough Town Council
for the benefit of both residents and visitors alike, who seek to
enjoy the advantages of being part of our community.
I trust it will also be informative and interesting to prospective
residents, visitors and tourists and enable them to take full advantage
of what the town has to offer.
As a community we seek to be inclusive, open and friendly both to
fellow residents and especially to those who come to visit.
Having lived in Princes Risborough for many years I know at first
hand exactly what a wonderfully warm and friendly town Princes Risborough
is, both in which to live and visit. I hope that you will enjoy
seeking out our rich history and participating actively in our bright
future.
