About

Wendover sits at the foot of the Chiltern Hills escarpment, with the Ridgeway National Trail passing directly through. The area is characterised by mixed woodland and chalk grassland, typical of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It functions as a commuter town with a historic high street, while also serving as a gateway for walking and cycling into the surrounding hills.

The land is drained by the small River Thame, which flows through the town. Wendover is notably linked to the nearby RAF Halton, with parts of the woods historically used for military training. Local geography includes Wendover Woods, a large Forestry England site on the hillside, offering trails and views across the Aylesbury Vale.
