Buckinghamshire is a county in the South East of England to the north west of London. It is known as Leafy Bucks to some, due to the idyllic rolling hills and vast woodlands but also contains several large towns, including High Wycombe, Milton Keynes, and Aylesbury, which have great tourist attractions as well as shopping opportunities.

Most rail services in Bucks radiate out from London. The north of the county (Milton Keynes) is served by the West Coast Main line with services to London Euston and north to Scotland.

By bus
Arriva services cover most of the county and Milton Keynes, with Carousel in the south and centre of the county.
