Buckinghamshire
 

Buckinghamshire is located in southeast England. It is divided into four different districts: Aylesbury vale, Chiltem, Southbucks and Milton Keynes.  The county town is Aylesbury, which has a population of over 70,000 people.

Buckingham has more National Trust properties than any of England’s other counties. One example is Hughenden in High Wycombe.  Visiting these historical sites is always a favourite for a family day out. 

The Grand Union Canal attracts many visitors to the country and boat cruises along the canal are a popular pass-time.

Buckinghamshire is home to Pinewood Studios and Dorney Lake. The rowing events at the 2012 Summer Olympics were held at Dorney Lake.

In 1536 much of the county became the property of King Henry VIII. Henry VIII was also responsible for making Aylesbury the official county town, taking over from Buckingham. This may have been to curry favour with Thomas Boleyn, father of his future bride Anne Boleyn.
