Bledlow Ridge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bledlow Ridge is a village in Buckinghamshire, England, population 940 (2004). It is situated in the Chiltern Hills, about 4 miles SSW of Princes Risborough.

Originally a hamlet within the parish of Bledlow, it gained parish status in 1868 when the new chapel, dedicated to St Paul, was constructed.

Today it sits in one of the most beautiful parts of the Chiltern Hills, and is a haven for London executives and others among the richer social classes. It sits on the road between the High Wycombe and Chinnor. It has a recently refurbished village shop, The Country Store (formerly the "Kedai"), a petrol station and the local school, Bledlow Ridge Combined School.
