Benson is a large Thames-side village at the foot of the Chiltern Hills and the Ewelme Brook (a small Chilterns chalk stream) joins the River Thames at this point. In places in the village the Ewelme Brook flows beside the road although elsewhere it has now disappeared into a culvert. The village is well served with local amenities and, with around a dozen shops, the High Street is very busy. On the edge of the village on the river is Benson Lock and also a boating marina and popular riverside cafe.
