Things to do in High Wycombe

The Cherry Tree public house, which does a cracking roast, is on the Straight Bit in the heart of the village and just a minute from our new retirement properties for sale in Flackwell Heath. You’ll find a popular Nepalese restaurant and a Costa Coffee similarly on the doorstep.

As well as walking trails in beautiful countryside surrounding the village — like Fennels Wood (‘The Dells’) — you’ll find Flackwell Heath Golf Club located on the village outskirts. Dating back to 1904, it is ideal for people who like to hit balls while they walk. There’s also a Bowling Club nearby.
