It is the principal centre of population of Downley Parish Council [1] and is located high in the Chiltern Hills, overlooking the town of High Wycombe.

Downley also has a war memorial hall, which is used as a central meeting place, and a millennium beacon placed on Commonside of Downley Common.
DOWNLEY Albion won the Wycombe & District League Cup for the third year in a row in a night of high drama at Wycombe Wanderers last Friday.
It was tough on Bucks CC who worked hard and created enough chances to win the game, but Downley deserved the win for the way they battled and after they hit the post twice in the first half.
Downley were first to go close when James Ramsey hit a screaming 20-yard free kick which pinged off the post.
