Whaddon is a small village and civil parish in Buckinghamshire, set in the rolling farmland of the Aylesbury Vale a few miles south of Aylesbury. It retains a compact, village feel with hedged lanes, a parish church and village hall, and a mix of historic cottages and farmsteads that reflect its rural character.
Locally notable is Whaddon Hall, a substantial country house nearby that played a role in wartime intelligence work connected with Bletchley Park. Today the area’s economy remains largely agricultural with many residents commuting to larger centres such as Aylesbury and Milton Keynes, and the community is typical of small Buckinghamshire villages with occasional local events and active parish life.
