Wavendon is a small village and civil parish on the south‑eastern edge of Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire, England. Historically an agricultural manor with a compact village core and parish church, it now sits on the fringe of the modern new town and combines rural lanes and open fields with pockets of newer housing and community amenities.
The village retains a strong local feel with a village hall, pubs and community groups, but its proximity to central Milton Keynes and good transport links has made it popular with commuters and brought nearby business and retail growth. As a result Wavendon feels like a blend of traditional village life and the social and economic pressures of suburban expansion.
