Gayhurst is a small, rural parish on the northern edge of Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire, England, a few miles from the market towns of Newport Pagnell and Olney. It feels distinctly villagey rather than suburban: low density settlement, farmed countryside and estate buildings define the landscape, while proximity to Milton Keynes means many residents commute for work and services.
The parish’s main historic focal point is Gayhurst House, an impressive Elizabethan/early Stuart country house long associated with the Digby family and noted in local history for its links to Everard Digby of Gunpowder Plot fame. The house, its gardens and several other listed buildings give the parish a strong sense of architectural heritage, and the area is valued for its quiet, conserved character rather than commercial activity.
