For sporting enthusiasts, the town has a range of sports facilities that embrace football and cricket as well as tennis, squash and bowls. Watlington Primary School and Rainbow Corner day nursery and pre-school have an ‘outstanding’ Ofsted rating, and senior education is provided by the well-regarded Icknield Community College. The Chiltern Hills rise above the town and offer some of the finest landscapes in south-east England.
