Hazlemere
Hazlemere, once a small hamlet of the 13th century is now a suburb of High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire, England.
With the arrival of the railway in High Wycombe during the Victorian era coupled with its close proximity to the village, it was inevitable that Hazlemere would eventually become a larger built-up area.
A few miles from Hazlemere is Hughenden Manor, the home of Victorian prime minister and statesman Benjamin Disraeli from 1848 until his death in 1881. Most of his books, furniture and pictures remain in what was regarded as his private retreat. There are beautiful walks through the surrounding park and Chiltern woodlands while the garden is a recreation of the colourful design of his wife, Mary Anne. The property is now owned by the National Trust.
The Hazlemere Golf Club is set in the Chiltern Hills in South Buckinghamshire and has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This undulating parkland course offers a great challenge to golfers of all abilities. Surrounded by the magnificent Penn Woods the recent investment in Green-keeping equipment means it's a course appreciated by members and visitors alike. The course was opened in 1982 and purchased by its members in 2000.
Close to Hazlemere is the award winning Odds Farm Park, a 'must-visit' children's attraction. For a mixture of fun, play, and education, Odds Farm is the ideal outing for families, schools, groups and birthday parties, and is an essential adventure for kids of all ages. It is the ideal place to get up close to all kinds of farm animals, learn about them, and have fun doing so.
Bekonscot Model Village is the oldest model village in the world and is located in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, three miles from Hazlemere. The village portrays a rural England as it was in the 1930's. There are six small villages set in a 1½ acre miniature landscape of farms, fields, castles and churches, woods, lakes and rolling hills. The tiny population can be seen enjoying the fun of the fair, beaches, zoo and tramway, or lazily watching the cricket on the village green. Each village is linked by one of Britain's largest public outdoor model garden railways. This unique piece of England's heritage will delight and fascinate both children and adults.
A part of Hazlemere, that of Cosy Corner, the junction where Eastern and Western Dene meet, and extends into Hazlemere Park was developed in the 1960s.The Park Parade shopping centre, developed at the same time, lies at the centre of this area and boasts one of the finest butchers in the country attracting customers from far and wide. The south of Hazlemere Crossroads around Rose Avenue was developed during the 1970's with the Sir William Ramsay School, a secondary modern, and Manor Farm, an infants and junior school being built around the same time. Hazlemere's most expensive road is Manor Road, part of the highly desirable St Johns area running along the east side of Kings Wood from the A404 down to the edge of Penn.
