Places to see in ( Princes Risborough - UK )

Princes Risborough is an affluent small town in Buckinghamshire, England, about 9 miles south of Aylesbury and 8 miles north west of High Wycombe. Bledlow lies to the west and Monks Risborough to the east. It lies at the foot of the Chiltern Hills, at the north end of a gap or pass through the Chilterns, the south end of which is at West Wycombe. The A4010 road follows this route from West Wycombe through the town and then on to Aylesbury.

Historically it was both a manor and an ecclesiastical parish, of the same extent as the manor, which comprised the present ecclesiastical parish of Princes Risborough (excluding Ilmer) and also the present ecclesiastical parish of Lacey Green, which became a separate parish in the 19th century. It was long and narrow (a strip parish), taking in land below the Chiltern scarp, the slope of the scarp itself and also land above the scarp extending into the Chiltern hills. The manor and the parish extended from Longwick in the north through Alscot, the town of Princes Risborough, Loosley Row and Lacey Green to Speen and Walters Ash in the south.

Since 1934 the civil parish of Princes Risborough (formerly the same as the ecclesiastical parish) has included the town of Princes Risborough, the village of Monks Risborough (but not the outlying parts) and part of Horsenden but has excluded Longwick. It is within the Wycombe district of Buckinghamshire and operates as a town council within Wycombe district. The town is overlooked by the Whiteleaf Cross, carved in the chalk of the hillside, though the cross itself is in Monks Risborough.

The name 'Risborough' meant 'brushwood-covered hills' and comes from two Old English words: hrisen, which was an adjective meaning brushwood-covered derived from hris meaning brushwood or scrub, and beorg which meant hill. The plural forms are hrisenan beorgas. The spelling in the various documents where the name is found is, as usual, very variable. In the 13th century it is found as Magna Risberge (Great Risborough), distinguished from Parva (Little) Risberge which was Monks Risborough, and later as Earls Risborough and, finally, when the manor came to be held by Edward Prince of Wales (son of Edward III and later to be known as the Black Prince), as Princes Risborough.

At the time of the Domesday survey in 1086, Risborough (later known as Princes Risborough) was a royal manor held by the King, having been a village of King Harold before the conquest. It was part of the Hundred of Risborough, which also comprised Bledlow, Horsenden and (Monks) Risborough.

The history of the railways at Princes Risborough is both complicated and interesting. From 1862 it became possible to travel from Princes Risborough to London in a train which started at Thame (later Oxford, when the line was completed) and went on to London Paddington through Princes Risborough, High Wycombe, Bourne End and Maidenhead. These direct routes between Princes Risborough and London were working from 2 April 1906, though at first the trains still ran on to Oxford beyond Risborough. On 5 September 2011 the Chiltern Mainline project went live. This was a £250 million investment and the largest privately led investment in passenger railway infrastructure since before the second world war. This has reduced the time taken by trains between London and Risborough; in the December 2011 timetable trains can take as little as 31 minutes (the majority taking 35 to 40 minutes).

Through the Chiltern Hills (Aylesbury VP-Marylebone / P. Risborough-Aylesbury) - DRIVER'S EYE VIEW

The first driver's eye view video of 2024, Through the Chiltern Hills will take us over Chiltern Railways second main route from Aylesbury Vale Parkway to London Marylebone, half of that route will then take on Metropolitan tracks between Amersham and Harrow-on-the-Hill.

We then get the delights of travelling over the single line from Princes Risborough to Aylesbury, a route which was opened by the Wycombe Railway in 1863. Filmed in the winter of December 2023, it was quite wet in some parts so there are water marks on the train cabs windows but only for a short time.

Narration is included of the route talking about the history of the former Great Central and Metropolitan Joint Railway, in addition to other intresting facts along the way. Your support for this channel is always appreciated, so please continue to like, comment, subscribe and even share this video and stay tuned for more driver's eye views coming soon. Thanks to all the Chiltern Railways staff who helped with this production. Without further or do, sit back relax and enjoy this driver's eye view Through the Chiltern Hills.

Princes Risborough Walk: Town Centre【4K】

Located in the county of Buckinghamshire, and around 20 miles east of Oxford, is the town of Princes Risborough.

Geographically, the town is situated between the Vale of Aylesbury and the western escarpment of the Chiltern Hills, on the route of the ancient trackway known as Icknield Way.

The town's name derives from Old English 'hrisen beorgas', meaning 'brushwood-covered hills'. Its prefix refers to Edward, the Black Prince - the eldest son of King Edward III who appointed the Black Prince as custodian of the manor in 1343. Various subsequent princes also held the manor here all the way up to Charles I prior to his becoming king.

At the heart of the town is St Mary's Church, which dates back to the 13th century, albeit with some 19th century restoration work and a replacement tower and spire from the early 20th century. Another notable religious building in the town is St Teresa's Church. Featured at the very end of the walk, this Roman Catholic church was built between 1937 and 1938 according to a design by Italian architect Giuseppe Rinvolucri.

In 1862 the railway arrived in Princes Risborough courtesy of the Wycombe Railway. At its height, the station accommodated multiple branch lines. Today it forms part of the Chiltern Main Line between London and Birmingham, as well as being the southern terminus of the Aylesbury–Princes Risborough line.

Famous people from Princes Risborough include former Blondie bass guitarist Nigel Harrison (although he was born in Stockport).

Chiltern 68012 - London Marylebone to Princes Risborough 19/02/2016

I haven't filmed anything for 2 months so I thought I would bring my camcorder on my next rail trip and it is 68012 thrashing on the Banbury commuter, but I only go as far as Princes Risborough. 68014 at Marylebone and 121034 at Princes Risborough are also included. Notice the very mixed liveried set with BR Blue & Grey, Chiltern Railways and even ex-Arriva Trains Wales in the Banbury stock.

I am using a new movie maker so I am getting the hang of it, hence the lack of info and transitions between each video.
