This village, built on Chiltern hills, 
Once gave the farmer land to till 
With springs to water growing crops 
And woodland trees for him to chop. 
The stones within this chalky soil 
Were, too, a payment for his toil 
And cottage homes seen all around 
Were made from flints the farmer found.
  
 
The village then was very small 
But, rather like our urban sprawl, 
The houses went this way and that, 
Our Flackwell lanes reveal this fact, 
And cottages of old remain, 
Though nothing else may look the same, 
So click the boots to venture in 
And let your walking tour begin.     |
