Handy Cross

Handy Cross is the name of a hamlet in the parish of Little Marlow, Buckinghamshire. It is located on Marlow Hill, on the old road between Marlow and High Wycombe. Today the hamlet consists of a farm, several households and a Harvester pub & restaurant.

The name Handy Cross is also used to refer to the neighbouring Handy Cross roundabout which is an M40 motorway junction (junction 4) linking the M40 to both Marlow and Wycombe. The junction was upgraded during 2006 and early 2007 to improve traffic flows between the M40 and A404.

Famous quotes containing the words handy and/or cross:

    St. Louis woman, wid her diamon’ rings,
    Pulls dat man ‘roun’ by her apron strings.
    —W.C. Handy (1873–1958)

    It is an agreeable change to cross a lake, after you have been shut up in the woods, not only on account of the greater expanse of water, but also of sky. It is one of the surprises which Nature has in store for the traveler in the forest. To look down, in this case, over eighteen miles of water, was liberating and civilizing even.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
