Set in historic Castle
Hill and surrounded by attractive gardens,
Wycombe Museum offers a fascinating tour of
this important area and pays homage to the
region’s most famous industry, the manufacture
of furniture.
Busy and partly
industrial, High Wycombe itself boasts an 18th
century town hall, 17th century market house
and a 13th century church.
The mansion ‘Wycombe
Abbey’ was built by James Wyatt in 1795.
Nearby is Hughenden Manor, the modest Georgian
retreat of the Victorian British Prime
Minister Benjamin Disraeli. The property is
now in the hands of the National Trust. |
