Cobstone Windmill above the village of Turville in the Chiltern Hills, Buckinghamshire.

                                                                                                        Commentary.

What magic does this village possess?
Considerable, if film settings are anything to go by.
Films like “Goodnight, Mr. Tom,” “Went the Day Well,” and
“Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang,” use this place as the village setting.
Similarly, television dramas like Marple, Jonathan Creek
and Midsomer Murders have centred their characters in
this archetypal English village.
In the brilliant comedy, “Vicar of Dibley,” all village exterior shots were filmed here.
It must epitomise all the essential qualities associated
with an iconic English village, and it does!

From the Cobstone Windmill above the village,
the valleys, fields, woodland, meadows, hedgerows,
streams and hills provide a succulent green tapestry
of undeniable beauty in this chalkland haven in the Chiltern Hills of Buckinghamshire.
The village is England in microcosm, the customary public house – the “Bull and Butcher,”
the cosy, red-bricked and flint, rose-covered cottages,
the ancient Parish Church of St.Mary-the-Virgin
and surrounding graveyard, the footpaths, lanes, farms, and country estates embody a film-makers romantic vision of England, at its best.
It is a proverbial gem!
“There will always be an England while there’s a country lane……..”
