Overview

Excerpt from Buckinghamshire North Bucks has been a rich grazing and pas toral county from an early age. South Bucks has a poor, flinty and chalky soil, resulting in light crops of grain, and in pastures only in the valleys or in the waterless bottoms which are characteristic of the Chiltern Hills. For the lover of the picturesque, the secluded valleys and bottoms, the flint-built and thatched cottages around the small grey church are very attractive, but the northern portion Of the county, with its wide views, its pleasant undula tions, and its church-crowned hills, has many charms. Buckinghamshire can scarcely be said to possess a river. The Ouse rising in Oxford shire, passes a mere brook into the county near Brackley, and leaves it at Brayfield near Olney. With Berkshire the county Shares in the Thames from Wraysbury to within sight of Henley, a tributary of which, the Thame, has its head waters in the brooks which are seen among the pastures to the west Of Aylesbury, and leaves the county at the little Oxfordshire town of Thame.
