Chesham, as we all know, is in a pretty special position having a London Underground station, a friendly community, and beautiful villages and countryside around.

The Visit Chesham and Villages project is the brainchild of Chesham Society and Chesham Connect, to showcase this wonderful town and surrounding area, attract visitors and encourage local tourism and pride in the area as a destination.

It centres around the website visitchesham.org.uk – an idea that came to fruition through the funding and support of Chesham and Villages Community Board. This brings together three organisations working for the good of the community and its future with a not-for-profit project aiming to profit Chesham and the surrounding area as a whole.

The project covers the seven parishes of the Chesham and Villages Community Board. These are Chesham, Ashley Green, Chartridge, Chenies, Cholesbury-cum-St Leonards (Hawridge & Cholesbury), Latimer & Ley Hill and The Lee.

A specially-commissioned video was produced by a local company which has proved very popular. It shows the Met line train travelling through the countryside to reach a bustling Chesham town centre with scenes of the villages too.

The website lists the key events in town and villages seen to be of interest to visitors and residents alike. This growing number of events organised by various organisations, often alongside Chesham Town Council, have increased awareness of the area bringing more participation and business to the high street and villages.

The villages have individual pages on the website with an overview of places to visit and enjoy. Also a highlight is that the website brings together many of the wonderful walks that have been developed. For example, the town history walks or pub to pub walks are a great way to discover new routes and views around Chesham, as well as maybe a new pub!

We hope the website is useful to you as a central place to see so much of what is great about Chesham and villages. Give us a like on Facebook … follow us on Instagram, it’s all intended for the positivity of Chesham and the surrounding area.
