About

Chesham West sits on the western edge of the town, characterised by residential streets and areas of open green space. The housing is primarily a mix of interwar and post-war semi-detached and detached homes, with some modern developments. The terrain begins to rise towards the Chiltern Hills, with parts of the area bordering protected woodland.

The Grand Union Canal's Wendover Arm runs through the area, its towpath providing a quiet route for walking and cycling. Local amenities are centred around the smaller parade of shops on Vale Road, serving the immediate neighbourhood. The area maintains a quiet, suburban atmosphere, distinct from the busier town centre to the east.
