Akeley is a small village and civil parish in Buckinghamshire, England, set in the rolling agricultural landscape of north Buckinghamshire. It sits amid farmland and pockets of ancient woodland typical of the Vale and is within easy commuting distance of larger towns such as Milton Keynes and Buckingham.
The village has historic roots, with a parish church and several listed buildings that hint at its past, while its economy remains largely rural alongside a number of residents who commute out for work. Social life tends to be local and community-focused, centred on the village hall, occasional fêtes and clubs, which helps preserve a close-knit, traditionally English village character.
