It is on the River Thames. Mill End consists of about 30-50 houses, some on the river bank and others on the northern side of the main road. The name clearly comes from the mill that is situated near the lock. , Mill end Farm which has been run by the bowden family for over 45 years is situated opposite the lock and has farmed most of the land in and around the hambleden area. The scenery of both places is nice, the rolling hills of Hambleden compared to the peaceful waters of the River Thames alongside the lock. This part of the Thames is characterised by willow trees and a large biodiversity of wildlife including swans, grebes, ducks, herons, terns and kingfishers. The footpath next to Hambleden Lock is the main attraction for Mill End.
Anne Petrie, daughter of the famous Egyptian archaeologist Flinders Petrie lived in Mill End, she is buried in Hambleden church-yard.
