Leisure facilities

Close to home
A quintessentially English historic market town

Thame is situated close to the Chiltern Hills and is an ideal base for exploring the wider Oxfordshire area. The town offers excellent facilities for family shopping served by ample parking, coffee shops, restaurants and pubs. Accommodation includes 3 star hotels, inns and friendly B&B’s. Offering both the historic and eclectic, Thame retains its traditional High Street shopping experience, mixing well known retail chains with individual specialist shops.


Adjacent to the development is the Phoenix trail which provides a cycle route that runs from Thame to Princes Risborough on predominantly traffic free routes. The five mile long shared pathway utilises a previous railway cutting. It is understood that there is a proposal in the South Oxfordshire plan to extend the route to the west to integrate with Lord Williams Upper School.

See a performance at the Thame Players Theatre or the Thame Leisure Centre, take a walk on one of three Thame circular walks, or have a picnic at the Cuttlebrook Nature Reserve.

A cheery and colourful market is held, by ancient Charter on Tuesdays, including a Farmers’ market every second Tuesday in the month.

Thame is ideally situated to discover the beauty and tranquillity of the Thames and Chiltern area. To the South of Thame are the Chiltern Hills and The Ridgeway Path, with many public walkways where outstanding views of the surrounding area can be enjoyed. Explore the delightful gardens at Waterperry with its house, formal and informal gardens and tearooms just to the north of Thame.

The Oxfordshire way and cycle way meander through the countryside to the west of Thame and to the east is the larger market town of Aylesbury.

Thame is an ideal place to call home.

About David Wilson Homes

About David Wilson Homes

David Wilson Homes is not just a housing developer, we're a company that builds homes. At every stage of the process; from designing and planning to the final finishing touches, we keep in mind the emotional and practical priorities of the people who will be living in our properties.

This customer-centric approach has been at the root of our success for over forty years. We began in a small village in Leicester and today are recognised as one of the country's leading house builders, operating in thirteen regions, from Scotland to Wales and down to the South East of England. All our regions are supported by an extensive customer service team to guide buyers through what, in most cases, is the biggest financial commitment they will ever make.
As part of the Wilson Bowden Group, we established our reputation through the building of large executive properties but today our uncompromising pursuit of excellence extends into a wider portfolio of homes including apartments and townhouses.

At the heart of our company lies the Wilson Way, an attitude which demands all our people, whether they be land buyers, site managers or marketing staff, deliver their very best at all stages of the business. We believe detail is everything and consequently our team takes time to source materials of the highest standard to fashion homes of unparalleled quality.
