Preston Bissett Buckinghamshire Map

About Preston Bissett

Preston Bissett rests in a quiet corner of Buckinghamshire, a place where the land seems to hold its breath. It lies 5.8 km south-west of Buckingham (from Buckingham: bearing 223°T, OS grid SP 657 298), and is situated west-north-west of Hillesden village. The village itself is a gentle scattering of homes, many of them old stone cottages that have weathered the seasons, their roofs a mosaic of lichen and time. The River Ray, a slender ribbon of water, meanders through the parish, its banks often softened by the cool, deep green of willows. Sunlight here has a particular quality, a diffused luminescence that can, on clear afternoons, gild the quiet lanes and the weathered stone of St. John the Baptist Church. The surrounding fields, a patchwork of arable land and pasture, speak of generations who have worked this soil, their labours etched into the very contours of the landscape.
