Great Horwood is a small village and civil parish in north Buckinghamshire, set amid rolling farmland a short drive from Milton Keynes and Buckingham. It has a compact historic centre with a parish church and a mix of traditional cottages and later houses, giving it the feel of a classic English village rather than a modern estate.
The village has medieval roots and a long agricultural history, and today combines farming with a commuter population who work in nearby towns and London. Community life revolves around the village hall, local pub and annual events such as fetes and sports fixtures, while small-scale local businesses and clubs keep a close-knit social atmosphere.
