Castlethorpe is a small village and civil parish in the unitary authority of Milton Keynes, in north Buckinghamshire. Set a few miles north‑west of the city centre, it sits amid farmland and lanes and keeps a distinctly rural character despite being within the modern Milton Keynes boundary.
It has medieval origins - a prominent motte‑and‑bailey earthwork overlooks the village and the parish church of St Simon and St Jude anchors a cluster of historic cottages and red‑brick houses. Today Castlethorpe is largely residential with a village pub, hall and local events, serving as a quiet commuter base for people working in and around Milton Keynes while retaining strong community ties and countryside charm.
