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).

swcwalks, book1, walk 45, Princes Risborough to Great Missenden. 7/2/18.
This was the second time this walker had attempted this very pleasant 10 miles through the Chilterns. On the first occasion, several years ago, it started to rain about half-way round, so filming had to be aborted, though the walk was completed. No such issues today! A decent Winter's day resulted in a fine walk across fields, through hamlets and, of course, wonderful beech woods; a delight at any time of the year, despite the mud today!
My visit to the Chinnor & Princes Risborough Railway
On the 04/07/2021, me and my friends visited and took a round trip along the Chinnor & Princes Risborough Heritage Railway.
Motive power was provided by a Class 37 diesel locomotive which was substituting for a steam locomotive because a fireman was unavailable.
This video showcases the journey over this 4 mile long railway in both directions as well as the Class 37 doing the run-round manoeuvres at the railway’s 2 stations.

CHINNOR & PRINCES RISBOROUGH RAILWAY - Part One:
Whilst so many appeared to be heading for the Gloucester & Warwickshire Railway 'Mixed Traction Gala', I decided to go small scale at the Chinnor & Princes Risborough for a first time visit.
A pretty challenging day weatherwise both for filming and trying to stay dry during the morning at least.
Video has been split into two parts and this one features the very smart little 'Bubble Car' otherwise known as a Class 121 numbered W55024 which has an interesting history
Part Two will feature GWR Pannier 6412 which has been on loan from the South Devon Railway throughout the 2022 season and is seen in improving weather from lineside.
