Cublington is a small village and civil parish in Buckinghamshire, tucked into the rolling chalk countryside of the northern Chilterns and forming part of the Aylesbury Vale. It has a compact core of lanes and traditional cottages surrounded by arable farmland; many residents commute to nearby towns such as Aylesbury or to London, while local life is centred on the parish church, the village hall and occasional community events.
The village traces medieval roots and retains historic features that reflect its long rural past, but it is perhaps best known nationally for being the focus of a controversial 1970s airport inquiry by the Roskill Commission, which recommended the site before government ministers favoured Maplin Sands instead. That episode helped galvanise local campaigning and remains a notable chapter in Cublington’s history, alongside the steady presence of farming and a small, community-minded way of life.
