UKLC - Wycombe Abbey
High Wycombe is a thriving market town with a population of 83,523 and is situated northwest of London. The town has a long and colourful history, appearing in the Domesday Book and known to have been inhabited by the Romans. The town centre presents some beautiful Georgian architecture, including the Little Market House (or Pepper Pot, as it’s often referred to), and the stunning Guildhall.
Wycombe Abbey was founded in 1896 and now boasts a wide collection of facilities within 170 acres of grounds, including tennis courts, a swimming pool, sports pitches, performing arts centre and a gym. The campus includes woods, gardens, and a lake, and rises up to 150 metres above sea level in the Chiltern Hills. The buildings across the site are a mixture of old and new architectural styles and include Grade 2 listed buildings, giving this centre a traditional English boarding school feel. See the Wycombe Abbey Interactive Map, including a 360° tour of Pitt and Rubens boarding houses.
