Skirmett Buckinghamshire Map

About Skirmett

Skirmett, a tranquil hamlet, breathes the very essence of the Chiltern Hills. It lies 7.4 km north-north-east of Henley-on-Thames (from Henley-on-Thames: bearing 13°T, OS grid SU 776 898), and is situated south of Fingest village. The lanes here, often canopied by ancient beech trees whose leaves in autumn turn a rich, burnished gold, wind with a quiet deliberation, guiding one past cottages of flint and brick, their gardens spilling over with roses and honeysuckle. The air, particularly after a spring shower, carries the clean scent of damp earth and the distant bleating of sheep grazing on the surrounding slopes, a sound that seems to have echoed through generations. Skirmett possesses a stillness that allows the subtle drama of the seasons to unfold, from the vibrant green of new growth to the hushed white blanket of winter. There is a sense of enduring character to Skirmett, a place content in its own unhurried existence, where the passing of time is marked more by the changing light upon the hills than by the clamour of the wider world.
