Buckinghamshire Examiner

Buckinghamshire sits to the north west of London and includes towns such as Aylesbury, High Wycombe and Beaconsfield. In 2022 it got its first city when Milton Keynes achieved the status as part of Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee Celebrations. Famous landmarks in Buckinghamshire include Bletchley Park, where Alan Turing and his colleagues cracked the German Enigma Code during the Second World War. Pinewood Studios, where many Hollywood blockbusters are shot, is also in the county. Buckinghamshire has seen major infrastructure development in recent years, with the controversial HS2 railway line being constructed through the area. East West Rail also passes through the county, with a new station being built at Winslow. It also possesses a number of London Underground Stations on the Metropolitan Line, including at Chesham and Amersham. Major roads through the county include the M40, the M1, the A404, the A421, the A5 and the A41.
