Padbury is a small village and civil parish in north Buckinghamshire, England, a few miles north of Buckingham and within easy reach of Milton Keynes. It sits by Padbury Brook, a tributary of the River Great Ouse, amid rolling farmland on the edge of the Chilterns foothills, giving it a quietly rural character despite nearby towns.
The village has medieval origins - its name comes from Old English - and retains a Norman‑era parish church, timber‑framed cottages and several listed buildings. Traditionally agricultural, Padbury today is a mixed community with local amenities such as a village hall, primary school and pub; many residents commute to surrounding towns while regular local events help keep village life active.
