A hill range in southern England, United Kingdom. Located northwest of London, the chalk hills stretch for about 70 km from southwest to northeast, and define the northwest of the London Basin. The highest point is Combe Hill near Wendover, at 260 m above sea level. The hills form part of a cuesta topography, with a steep slope to the northwest and a gentle slope to the southeast toward the London Basin. The beech forests are used for furniture, and High Wycombe on the southeast foot of the southern part of the region is famous as a traditional furniture-making town.
