Hardmead is a tiny, predominantly rural civil parish in the unitary authority of Milton Keynes, in Buckinghamshire, England. It comprises a small village core and scattered farmsteads set among arable fields and quiet lanes, so feels distinctly countryside despite being within reasonable reach of the larger town's facilities.
With roots stretching back to the medieval era, the area still shows traces of traditional buildings and a rural heritage; the local economy is largely agricultural and the parish appeals to walkers and anyone seeking a very quiet community while retaining access to the shops, schools and transport links centred on Milton Keynes.
