Wycombe is a great place to live if you don’t drive. No traffic jams or parking problems. If you live in Abercromby Road, for example, it’s a short walk along Desborough Road to the town centre, with its Eden shopping Mall, library, Hospital. If you are disabled, there are many facilities, including https://www.shopmobilityhighwycombe.co.uk/ You’ll pass the Bus Station, which can start you on your way to anywhere in the world: trains to London and Birmingham; bus 104 to Heathrow airport. Wycombe is surrounded by an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or AONB.
But then there are country walks a half-mile from the town centre. See photos below:
