| Districts | |
Buckinghamshire (abbreviated Bucks) is a county in south central England. The county town is Aylesbury.
Buckinghamshire is divided into four districts: Aylesbury Vale, Chiltern, South Bucks and Wycombe. The ceremonial county (which is based on the post- 1974 administrative county) also includes Milton Keynes.
The ceremonial county borders onto those of Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Berkshire and Greater London. In the local government reform of 1974, Buckinghamshire lost Slough and Eton to Berkshire; these areas have been administered under the unitary authorities of Slough and Windsor and Maidenhead since 1998. Milton Keynes district became a unitary authority in 1997.
It is an agricultural county, covering part of the Chiltern Hills to the South and the Vale of Aylesbury to the north. The highest point is Coombe Hill near Wendover at 852 feet above sea level. It has fertile agricultural lands, with many landed estates, especially those of the Rothschild family in the 19th century (see Rothschild properties in Buckinghamshire). Industry: Agricultural, furniture-making (traditionally centred at High Wycombe), pharmaceuticals, service and distribution industries. There are some residential commuter areas for London in the south.
