Upton is a hamlet in the midst of Buckinghamshire, standing to the north-east of Dinton and south-west of Stone, and three miles west of Aylesbury. It is at the junction between the new road from Aylesbury to Thame road, and the old road before it was rerouted.
The hamlet name is a commonplace one, and means 'higher farm', referring in this case to the hamlet's location at the top of an adjacent hill to Dinton.
