Olney is a fantastic Georgian market town situated on the bank of the River Great Ouse, about 8 miles from the centre of Milton Keynes, and about 10 miles from Bedford, Wellingborough and Northampton. It sits within the civil parish of Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire (though in fact also sits on the boarders of both Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire).

​

Olney is a residential town and a destination shopping, dining and well-being centre, with over 100 independent shops, restaurants and other services available.

​

There is also some fascinating history to Olney, home of the hymn Amazing Grace and the birthplace of the world famous Pancake Race! Much of our wonderful history can be found in our very own Cowper & Newton Museum.

​​

Olney also has a monthly Farmers Market on the first Sunday of the month, and a weekly general Market every Thursday.
