Great Linford is a small historic village and civil parish within the eastern part of Milton Keynes, set on the banks of the River Great Ouse and surrounded by parkland and ancient woodland. The village core retains older stone and thatched cottages and is dominated by the substantial house and grounds of Linford Manor, now enjoyed as Linford Manor Park, while nearby Linford Wood and riverside paths give a distinctly rural feel despite proximity to the town centre.
Historically the settlement grew around the manor, local farming and milling, and today it mixes residential neighbourhoods with small local businesses and community groups. The park, village conservation efforts and occasional events mean it attracts walkers, families and local historians, offering a quieter, village character within the modern grid of Milton Keynes.
