Location guide - Coombe Hill, Buckinghamshire

I love the lifestyle area of photography, especially when working with young families. Having lots of space lets everyone relax and have fun together, making for beautiful photographs. My favourite location is Coombe Hill in Buckinghamshire, if you've been directed to this post then you've asked for more details about the area. Please read on.

Why Coombe Hill?
It offers a wonderful combination of woodland (with bluebells in the Spring)...

 

... with open grassy areas...

 
... and a stunning view of the surrounding countryside from what is the tallest point in the Chiltern Hills.

There's even a playground tucked away near the car park, very useful for letting little ones burn off some steam!

It's also a beautiful area in the evening as the sun sets over the valley, making it perfect for romantic couple sessions.

How do we get there?
Coombe Hill is above Ellesborough and Butler's Cross - this map shows exactly where. The best car park is on Lodge Hill, to the left where the road turns 90 degrees to the right.

Please note
Any session at Coombe Hill will involve some walking and many of the paths are unsurfaced. Please choose shoes and clothing that will be comfortable and are suitable for an outdoor location. Please also bear in mind the weather forecast and that there is often a stiff breeze in the more open areas.
There may also be cows and people walking their dogs in the area, please let me know if this will be a problem for you.

Thanks for reading, I look forward to seeing you soon.
