Wooburn Green is a charming village located about 3 miles southeast of High Wycombe. The village has a rich history, with records of its existence dating back to the Domesday Book of 1086. The name “Wooburn” is likely derived from the Old English words “wudu” (wood) and “burna” (stream).

The village has a range of local shops and businesses, including a Co-op supermarket, a post office, and several independent shops and restaurants. There is also a weekly farmers’ market on Saturdays.

Wooburn Green has two primary schools: Wooburn Church of England Combined School and The Meadows School, both of which have received “good” ratings from Ofsted. There are several nearby secondary schools in High Wycombe and the surrounding area.

In terms of outdoor spaces, Wooburn Green has several parks and nature reserves in the surrounding area. Wooburn Park, on the edge of the village, has green spaces, a playground, and a duck pond. The nearby Cliveden estate is a National Trust-owned estate with extensive gardens, woodlands, and scenic walks.

Wooburn Green is also located near the Chiltern Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that provides miles of beautiful countryside and stunning views. The hills offer many walking and cycling trails, including the Chiltern Way, which runs through the village.

Overall, Wooburn Green is a charming and friendly village with a range of local amenities, good schools, and beautiful outdoor spaces. Its proximity to both High Wycombe and the Chiltern Hills makes it an excellent location for both urban and rural living.
