County at a glance - Buckinghamshire
Buckinghamshire stretches from the farmland of the Vale of Aylesbury to the wooded Chiltern Hills, with Thames valley landscapes in the south. Pegasus is in that southern corner, with a community in each of two neighbouring villages, Wooburn Green and Bourne End.
Both villages share a parish and the Wye valley, so the choice comes down to what you’d like at the heart of your week: Wooburn Green gathers around its village green, while Bourne End brings the Thames and its own railway station.
Why retire in Buckinghamshire?
-
Wooburn Green and Bourne End have Marlow and High Wycombe nearby, so village life comes with a wider choice of shops and culture close by.
-
The Chilterns National Landscape is beech woods, commons and chalk hills, so a woodland walk can become one of your regular habits.
-
The Thames Path runs past Bourne End between Marlow and Cookham. This riverside walk makes a welcome change from the hills.
-
Bourne End’s branch line runs to Maidenhead, where you can change for London Paddington or the Elizabeth line. London can stay a part of your life, even as you move somewhere less hectic.
Retirement living in Buckinghamshire
Life here has that village feel - local and personal. In Wooburn Green, the days naturally gather around the green, dotted with sterling pubs and exceptional bistros. In Bourne End, a footpath leads from the station to the Thames and a riverside space by the marina. And if you’re feeling sociable, the Community Centre beside the library runs activities whenever you’d like to join in.
When you want more, Marlow adds a wider choice of shops, cafés and restaurants, and Wycombe Swan in High Wycombe brings theatre, music and comedy. When you visit, try the journeys you’d make most, whether by road or from Bourne End station.
Things to do in Buckinghamshire
Two villages, one river and a couple of good reasons to venture a little further.
Wooburn Green village centre
Start at the green in Wooburn Green, the focal point of village life. Some villages have a centre; this one has a green.
Bourne End and the Thames Path
Follow the Thames Path from Bourne End, towards Cookham one way or Marlow the other. The river sets the pace, and you set the distance.
Marlow High Street and Higginson Park
Head to nearby Marlow for the High Street’s shops and cafés, then stroll through Higginson Park beside the river. Errands, with a view of the Thames.
Wycombe Swan
Book seats at Wycombe Swan in High Wycombe, where the programme runs from theatre to music and comedy. A night out, without a trip to London.
