Astwood is a small, mostly rural civil parish in the City of Milton Keynes borough of Buckinghamshire, England. Sitting close to the urban edge of Milton Keynes, it retains a village character of farmland, hedgerows and historic cottages despite the proximity of new development.
Historically agricultural with medieval roots, the parish contains several older buildings and a strong local identity; many residents commute into Milton Keynes and nearby towns for work while community life centres on village events and green‑space conservation. Its mix of quiet lanes, open countryside and ready access to the wider MK area makes it typical of rural parishes balancing heritage and modern pressures.
