Chesham, Buckinghamshire

Chesham is a historic market town in Buckinghamshire at the northern edge of the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, perfectly positioned for AA Travels minibus and coach hire with its Metropolitan Line station linking to London Baker Street in under an hour. The town’s pedestrianised High Street offers a lively mix of independent shops, cafés, pubs and weekly markets, while Old Chesham’s timber‑framed buildings and narrow lanes give a real sense of Chilterns heritage.
Key attractions include Lowndes Park, a large green space with a lake, playgrounds, picnic areas and a Scheduled Ancient Monument known as the Rolling Pin (likely a Bronze Age burial mound), ideal for family groups or school visits. The Chess Valley Walk follows the River Chess for 10 miles through meadows, woodlands and villages like Latimer and Chenies, passing wildlife hotspots for kingfishers and water voles – perfect for walking clubs or nature study trips. Chesham Museum charts the town’s history through its famous “four Bs” (beer, boots, brushes and Baptists), while nearby Cholesbury Camp Iron Age hill fort adds prehistoric interest.
AA Minibuses can provide tailored transport for Chesham’s attractions, from school groups to Lowndes Park events or Chess Valley walks, with minibuses picking up from the station or High Street. For education, Chesham Grammar School is a high‑performing state school, and Amersham & Wycombe College has a campus nearby for further education – we handle student shuttles, open days and residential trips seamlessly. Corporate events at local venues like the Elgiva Theatre or outdoor pursuits in Pednor Valley are also popular, with AA Travels offering meet‑and‑greet, luggage space and flexible timings for hassle‑free group travel across the Chilterns.
