Dunsmore is a
hamlet in the
parish of
Ellesborough, in
Buckinghamshire,
England. It is located on the hilltop of one of the
Chiltern Hills, about 2 miles south of
Wendover. It is one of the remotest places in the whole of Buckinghamshire, accessible only by two steep, single-track hillside lanes.The place name is
Anglo Saxon in origin, and means literally Dunna's moor.Today the village is extremely picturesque as it is surrounded by mostly
National Trust owned woodland. However due to its location it is occasionally cut off because of bad weather or bad road conditions, and retains its small community atmosphere. Central features of the hamlet are the village
pond, the village hall and the Church of the Resurrection, Dunsmore. There were two
public houses, the Fox and the Black Horse, but these have closed and been converted into residential dwellings in recent years.
