Broughton in Buckinghamshire, England is a small village on the northern edge of Milton Keynes, where a traditional rural core sits alongside newer housing and retail developments. Its location gives residents quick access to the facilities and jobs of Milton Keynes while retaining a quieter, village character with local shops, a primary school and community facilities.
Historically agricultural, Broughton has grown considerably in recent decades and now combines commuter households with long‑standing local families; the local economy mixes small businesses and services with many people travelling into town or to London. Outside the village core there are green spaces and links into the wider Milton Keynes network of parks, which help preserve a sense of countryside even as the area develops.
