Stoke Mandeville is a village and civil parish just north of Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire, England. It sits on the edge of open chalk downland and green-belt countryside, combining a traditional village core with suburban housing and good commuter links via the local rail service into London.
The village is best known for Stoke Mandeville Hospital and the adjacent Stoke Mandeville Stadium, home to the National Spinal Injuries Centre and famous for the post‑war Stoke Mandeville Games that helped inspire the Paralympic movement; the hospital and stadium remain major local employers and community hubs alongside village clubs and pubs, giving the area a mix of historic roots and an active, service‑oriented economy.
