It really depends on what you are interested in photographing.

There are a few nature reserves around that area that are well worth a visit. There are a couple of Zoo's / Safari Parks within a short drive too. Again Google is your friend!

Central London should be no more than 30/40 minutes away on a train, so you could hit the streets and get some candids. Or even do the usual tourist/ landmark photo's. If you go to London then there are plenty of museums and galleries, many of them free entry.

Add to that Windsor itself and as you already mentioned the Great Park and Virginia Water. Looks like you could have a busy few days!
 
Not sure where abouts "near" High Wycombe you are...

Wycombe Air Park in Wycombe is brilliant for getting up close and personal to planes and helicopters. The cafe is pretty good for a bacon butty too :) They just won't be 747s or the like.

Burnham Beeches is over the ways on the other side of Beaconsfield near Farnham Common and there used to be a lot of rusty old burned out cars there. This time of year with the leaves turning it might be quite picturesque. Not sure about November though. Stop for a pint at the Jolly Woodman!

Windsor has the Great Park and the obvious touristy castle.

Marlow used to be a lovely little village when I lived there (many moons ago) and there are some great views from the top of Winter Hill if you're into landscapes etc. The town itself has a characteristic bridge worth a shot. Lots of pubs too.

main things i`m looking for is landscape and plane photos but iv got a feeling in my guts we have some bad weather on the cards.

anymore info please,i wont have much cash so i cant do the zoo`s.
 
Booker airfield near High Wycombe may not have 747's but does have Gliders and Helicopters.
The Truck stop Cafe on the A40 from Stokenchurch to West Wycombe feeds the Red Kites most days between 12 noon and 13:00.
Marlow itself has some fantastic landscape areas, bridge, Thames weir, Church opposite the Complete Amgler.
Henley not far from Marlow.
The tow path from Marlow to Cookham.
Hughenden Manor just outside High Wycombe, the home of Disraleigh. Look at the National Trust site.

How long a list do you want???
 
we are staying in Beaconsfield and i have 4 days to keep myself busy so i needs to find cheap things todo.

Beaconscot model village in Beaconsfield; the Hellfire caves, St Leonard's church and the mausoleum in West Wycombe. Just drive around the area to get some good landscapes.
