Aylesbury sits in the broad clay Vale of Aylesbury and is the county town of Buckinghamshire, England. It has long been a market centre - recorded in the Domesday Book - and grew through coaching routes and a 19th‑century furniture and chair‑making trade; landmarks such as the medieval parish church of St Mary and nearby Civil War sites speak to its layers of history.
Today Aylesbury mixes a compact historic core with modern shopping and arts venues like Friars Square and the Aylesbury Waterside Theatre, a local economy of public administration, retail and light industry, and good rail links that make commuting to London commonplace. It is also associated with the traditional Aylesbury duck and hosts museums and community events that reflect its market and industrial past while serving a growing, diverse population.
