Beaconsfield is thought to be of Saxon origin dating back to 900AD but the Old Town really grew and prospered in the 18th century as a stopover on the coaching trade route between London and Oxford. Many grand properties were constructed in this period and are still seen today. The Old Town is well known for its attractive tree-lined main street, numerous Georgian properties, tea rooms, gift and antique shops.
The arrival of the railway in 1906 prompted the growth of the New Town of Beaconsfield which now boasts a variety of high street stores, local independent shops, exclusive boutiques and supermarkets.
Beaconsfield has thriving cricket, rugby, football and tennis clubs and plenty of leisure facilities including the Beacon Centre and the David Lloyd gym at Wooburn Green. The Old Town also offers plenty of restaurants for eating out, such as The Crazy Bear, Raymond Blanc’s Brasserie Blanc and Giggling Squid and in the New Town the Beech House and Prime Steak.
Other local attractions include Bekonscot Model Village, Odds Farm Park, the Royal Standard ( the oldest free house in England), and woodland walks in Penn Woods, while the Old Town hosts Shakespeare plays, charity events and open air concerts in the summer.
