Coombe Hill is a hill in
The Chilterns, located near the town of
Wendover, and overlooks
Aylesbury Vale. It is not to be confused with another Coombe Hill on the flank of
Haddington Hill, some 4 kilometres to the north-east.
It is owned by the
National Trust; near the summit is a monument, erected in
1904, in memory of the men from
Buckinghamshire who died in the
Boer War.
The hill once formed part of the
Chequers Estate but was given to the National Trust by the
UK government when they were given the estate in the
1920s.
The word
coombe is derived from
Brythonic, and means "
hollow".
