Hambleden Hoodies

Hambleden Fair, August 2020 Not to be confused with the Hampshire and Surrey villages of Hambledon, this shot shows a row of brick and flint cottages in the village of Hambleden, Buckinghamshire (England). The village is not far from the towns of Marlow, Henley and Wycombe, but its quiet rural setting makes it a popular film location. Date: 4th August 2020.

The watermill at Hambleden on the River Thames between Henley and Marlow in Buckinghamshire. This picturesque, Grade 2 listed old mill has a long history, having been mentioned in the Domesday Book when the the rental value was £1 per year! Its location is the appropriately named Mill End, where the fast flowing Hambleden Bourne discharges into the Thames. Immediately below it is the weir, one of the longest on the Thames. From here the Chiltern Hills gradually rise to the north. Nikon D7000

The lovely old mill at Hambleden on the River Thames in Buckinghamshire, sitting just above the exceptionally long weir. Walkers can cross the weir on a footway which leads to Hambleden Lock on the Berkshire bank. From here the Thames Path leads upstream to Henley on Thames and downstream to Marlow. The mill itself has ancient origins and was apparently mentioned in the Domesday Book! More recently it has been converted into flats.

A white painted house on the banks of the River Thames at Mill End, Hambleden in Buckinghamshire. This lovely stretch of the river is where the Chiltern Hills meet the Thames Valley and unsuprisingly is the setting for many TV programmes and a number of films. This image was captured from Hambledon Weir, the longest on the river. Nearby is the iconic Hambleden Mill, now luxury flats. A digital drawing from my original photograph.

A pair of boat houses on the banks of the River Thames at Mill End near Hambleden, Buckinghamshire. It is early in the season so the moored boat still wears its winter tarpaulin. Nearby is Hambleden Mill which stands immediately above the weir, one of the longest on the Thames.
