The village nestles high in the Chiltern Hills between Amersham and Beaconsfield. Coleshill village can trace its roots to the early Roman occupation of Britain. Positioned on a hill, Coleshill is one of the highest villages in the Chilterns. With natural springs providing fresh water this made an ideal strategic place for an early encampment. Coleshill village centre was designated as a conservation area in 1992.
