Berghers Hill is a hamlet in Wooburn civil parish in Buckinghamshire, England.[1] [2] It lies just behind the escarpment of the valley of the River Wye.

History

Berghers Hill was recorded as Beggars Hill in the 18th-century, though the several of the buildings feature 17th-century work, suggesting earlier settlement.[3]

The Conservation Area was designated in May 1994 by Wycombe District Council.[3]
