ABOUT CHINNOR
Chinnor and its surrounding hamlets are part of the ancient chain of villages following the spring line at the foot of the Chiltern escarpment, right on the edge of the Chiltern Hills. The surrounding countryside is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, home to infamous Red Kites, and with many wonderful walks and numerous bridle tracks to explore.
Chinnor’s main attractions are its twelfth-century Saint Andrews Church, a steam and vintage diesel heritage railway line and the restored Chinnor Windmill. There are three pubs in the village and a plethora of nearby country pubs – most notably The Sir Charles Napier, a Michelin Starred restaurant with an exquisite seasonal menu and stunning gardens to be explored, while an impressive selection of independent eateries can be sampled in the adjoining villages of Princess Risborough, High Wycombe and Thame. The Cherry Tree B & B and café in Crowell is a particular favourite of our team, whilst The Swan, at Tetsworth, serves superb French cuisine, and The Leathern Bottle in Lewknor is wonderful for a quick bite to eat.
With a population of around 7,000, the Chinnor itself is well served with two supermarkets, cafes, takeaways and restaurants. Millies Deli and Bike Bean Coffeehouse both serve excellent coffees, and we’re big fans of Godwins bakery in the centre of Chinnor.
Chinnor lies about four miles south of Thame and is within a 30-40 minute drive of Oxford, Aylesbury and High Wycombe and just 4 miles away from junction 6 of the M40 motorway providing easy access to the North and South and Princes Risborough station with fast regular rail links to both Marylebone and Birmingham.
