Iver & Richings Park

Iver and Richings Park sit in the civil parish of Iver in South Buckinghamshire, a short distance from the M25 and M4 junctions. The area is mainly residential, with a mix of housing, local shops and community facilities clustered along the main roads. A parish council, primary schools and sports pitches provide everyday services; a small parade of shops and takeaways serves the neighbourhood. Open spaces and tree-lined streets connect pockets of green between housing and link to public footpaths that run through the parish.

Much of Richings Park occupies the footprint of an 18th-century estate, and several crescents and avenues follow the former parkland rather than a strict grid. The estate name survives in local road names and the pattern of streets around a central green. Good road and rail links place the area within commuting range of larger towns, while local clubs, the village hall and regular events form the backbone of community life. Small conservation efforts maintain hedgerows and stretches of the Colne Brook corridor that pass close to the area.
