Picturesque and atmospheric,
Quainton boasts a large village green, duck pond
and an old windmill. It is adorned with evocative
cottages and gabled almshouses. The local church
dates to the 14th century. Quainton Hill is a 600
ft hill reputedly inhabited by fairies and goblins
and on an old Roman road called Gipsy Lane is the
grave of a gipsy king. Railway buffs flock to the
town’s station where the local railway
preservation society shows off its steam locos.
