Olney High Street, Buckinghamshire

Olney

Olney is a small market town in the northeast corner of Buckinghamshire; a place of some 6,000 folk. Olney stands on the River Great Ouse, very close to the borders with Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire and equidistant from Northampton, Bedford and Milton Keynes. Though it has easy access to the M1 motorway and fast train links to London from nearby Milton Keynes, it remains a place of itself.

Olney is a popular tourist destination perhaps as well known for the Olney Pancake Race and for the Olney Hymns by William Cowper and John Newton. (Read more)
