About Halton
Halton is a small village and also a civil parish within the Aylesbury Vale district in Buckinghamshire, about 2 miles from Wendover and 5 miles from Aylesbury. It lies just outside the Metropolitan Green Belt so it has not been protected from post war housing development. At its southern end it is contiguous with Wendover, but it retains a separate, older village centre anchored by St Michael and All Angels Church and a community hall.
The Parish also includes RAF Halton, a Royal Air Force training station with a grass airfield used for glider training. The base had a large military hospital employing hundreds of people, which was closed in 1995. The buildings remained until 2007/8 when they were demolished to make way for the Princess Mary Gate housing scheme on land between Halton and Wendover. RAF Halton is the gateway to the Royal Air Force with a long and distinguished history in training, dating back to the Kitchener Armies that trained here during the Great War of 1914 to 1918. Today, RAF Halton provides highly-trained personnel as a wider contribution to the UKs Defence Strategy in many differing and varied roles throughout the United Kingdom and abroad.
RAF Halton prides itself in the professionalism of its personnel, the standard of its training and the contribution it makes to the wider community in which it resides. RAF Halton will maintain its primary role of training Armed Forces personnel for the foreseeable future and the Station as a whole will look forward to continue building on the excellent working relationship that it has with the local community.
In the Chiltern Hills above Halton is Halton House, a country house in the style of a French chateau, which is currently used as the main Officers' Mess for RAF Halton. It was originally built for Alfred de Rothschild in 1880. The RAF demolished its domed winter garden to build an accommodation block.
The Wendover arm of the Grand Union Canal flows through Halton, on its course from Wendover to join the Grand Union beside Marsworth lock near Tring, the nearest railway station is Wendover which is on the Chiltern Railways line between Aylesbury and London Marylebone.
