 Buckingham
|
|
| Buckingham,
once an important town, and the 18th century buildings reflect
this. Located in the Aylesbury Vale, this is a small market
town, now largely overshadowed by larger towns
The town was rebuilt following a disastrous fire in
1724 and as a result has many Georgian buildings.
Visitors can find a Tourist Information Centre in the town.
