About the real place

Haddenham is one of Buckinghamshire's larger villages, noted for its duck pond, greens and traditional witchert walls made from local earth and straw. These pale, textured walls and the mix of cottages, shops and community buildings give the village an immediately recognisable local character.

Unlike several smaller locations, Haddenham has its own railway station and enough services to work as a practical starting point. The historic core is still residential, so visitors should explore on foot and avoid stopping at private houses. The pond and surrounding streets provide the clearest introduction to the place.
