Amersham, Buckinghamshire

Amersham is a picturesque market town in Buckinghamshire, set on the edge of the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and split between historic Old Amersham in the valley and the more modern Amersham‑on‑the‑Hill up by the station. Old Amersham’s high street is lined with period cottages, timber‑framed buildings and Georgian frontages, plus independent shops, pubs and restaurants that work really well as drop‑off points for AA Minibus groups.

For visitors, key attractions include Amersham Museum, housed in a restored Tudor building and telling the story of the town and the surrounding Chilterns, and St Mary’s Church with its medieval tower and nearby Amersham Martyrs’ Memorial. The surrounding countryside offers classic Chilterns scenery, with walking routes such as stretches of the Chiltern Way and South Bucks Way easily reached for walking clubs, school trips or family days out. While Amersham itself doesn’t host a major university campus, it sits within easy reach of Buckinghamshire New University at High Wycombe and several nearby colleges, so AA Travels can comfortably handle student group transport, open days and term‑time shuttles from the town.
