Hyde Heath is a village in the parish of Little Missenden, in Buckinghamshire, England. It is located in the Chiltern Hills, near Little Missenden.
The hamlet name refers to the value of the estate that once stood there. The heath was valued at the price of one hide, an amount of land enough to support one free family and its dependants.
Currently there is a primary school, old person's home "Rayners," a pub and restaurant "The Plough," a Village Hall & Shop and a car mechanics garage "Heath Motors".
Hyde Heath is also host to one of the largest Village Fete's in the country, held in May of each year. It incorporates many traditional games and stalls and a dog show, as well as various displays (such as falconary and acrobatic demonstrations from the local school), tea and coffee's, a large BBQ and ice cream stand, and an ever-popular Classic Car Display.
