Grendon Underwood is a small village and civil parish in Buckinghamshire, England, sitting close to the county boundary with Oxfordshire and the lower slopes of the Chiltern Hills. The settlement retains a rural, village-green feel with historic cottages and a medieval parish church, and it acts as a quiet base for local farming while also being within reasonable commuting distance of Bicester, Oxford and Aylesbury.
Locally notable features include the remnants of a wartime RAF signals station nearby and the presence of a therapeutic prison close to the village, both of which add unusual layers to its history and character. Day-to-day life is typically village centred - a handful of small businesses, community clubs and occasional fetes and events - giving Grendon Underwood a mix of agricultural heritage and modern commuter pressures.
