Addington is a very small, rural civil parish in Buckinghamshire, lying in the low rolling farmland to the north‑west of the market town of Buckingham. It consists of scattered cottages, farms and a handful of lanes rather than a single large village, and the surrounding landscape still shows traditional field patterns and hedgerows that give it a quietly pastoral character.
Locally the parish has been shaped by agriculture and by a modest historic core - a medieval parish church and a number of listed farm buildings and cottages hint at a long continuity of settlement. Community activity is limited and often oriented to nearby towns, but the place appeals to those interested in historic rural architecture, peaceful country walks and the small‑scale social life of Buckinghamshire’s countryside.
