Virtual Tour of Chesham

Chesham is a large market town in an enclosed valley among the Chiltern hills. First settled hundreds of thousands of years ago by hunters, the town has grown rapidly since the arrival of the railway in 1889. Discover over 1000 years of history on this virtual tour of Chesham.

The tour has been adapted from the Chesham Heritage Trail, a walking tour published by The Chesham Society & Chesham Environmental Group.
