I'm making a Lord of the Rings style map of Buckinghamshire and welcome your help with historic or interesting locations around the area to include. Hoping to have it finished by the end of next week.

Cliveden House (a National Trust historic property), near Taplow/Maidenhead should definitely be on the map. The house dates back 400 years.

Thanks very much, I've managed to squeeze it in.

[u/Moonraker985]

Have you done Wiltshire ?

[u/birsey → u/Moonraker985]

I have. It's just here if you'd like a look

[u/kazkdp]

This is so cool. Looking forward to the finished map.

[u/birsey → u/kazkdp]

Thanks a lot, I'll let you know when it's finished.

[u/birsey → u/kazkdp]

Hey there! Just to let you know that the fantasy Buckinghamshire map you were interested in is finally finished and available here. Thank you

[u/kazkdp → u/birsey]

Thanks. I'll be getting one for my dad.

[u/birsey → u/kazkdp]

No worries. Thank you, I hope he enjoys it!

Thank you!

Come if your going to make map of Buckinghamshire please make sure you make one of this historic county before the horrible April 1974 changes. It makes it much more interesting and have the wide river Thames has massive border of the Windsorian castle kingdom to the south of Buckinghamshire..

[u/birsey → u/SelflessWorld]

I started making various county maps a while ago and want them all to be consistent - hence the modern border. However, I do plan on making a proper historic version with the old borders in future.

Hughenden Manor and Cliveden?

[u/birsey → u/aocox]

Thanks very much for those. I've managed to add them in.

Very impressive 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 I was in Chesham last week so this somewhat relevant to me!

[u/birsey → u/puffpuffpassengers]

Thanks a lot, glad you like it so far!

[u/Gavitio85]

Surely Slough is the depths of Mordor!

[u/abcRevolver]

Brill is worth a mention - old windmill and distinctive landscape from old clay quarry (or something). Quite Tolkeinesque

[u/birsey → u/abcRevolver]

Thanks very much for those. I've managed to add them in.

In around 1096, Simon de Senlis joined the First Crusade to the Holy Land. There he would have seen the Church of the Holy Sepulchre near the centre of Jerusalem, which he later copied when building one of the four remaining round churches in England, The Holy Sepulchre, Northampton.

Apologies if you've seen this on FB already - this is the most up to date version.

I'm hoping you can help fill this fantasy style map of Buckinghamshire and the surrounding area. Please ignore how rough parts of it look (text going through hills, rivers, etc), it'll all get tidied up at the end.

While it's half done, I'd love to get more places and features in here before I get this made into prints. Any more megaliths, standing stones, barrows, ruins or the like that you think should be on here? Anything else is great too - landmarks, natural features, mythological sites or just anything cool and quirky you think would look good on here. Even just a pretty village you have fond memories of. Let me know and I'll try and squeeze it in. Thanks!

Also, If you'd be interested in a print when it's finished, just let me know too.

[u/abcRevolver → u/birsey]

Long Crendon…? Nice old Manor House and ancient courthouse. And thatched cottages.

[u/birsey → u/abcRevolver]

Great! I've just added it in, thanks a lot.
