Old Stratford is a small civil parish in West Northamptonshire, sitting on the county boundary with Buckinghamshire and close to Milton Keynes. Its riverside position beside the River Great Ouse and the Grand Union Canal, together with the old line of Watling Street and the modern A5, gives the area an unmistakable sense of transport history and easy links to neighbouring towns such as Stony Stratford.
The parish feels distinctly rural with surrounding farmland, waterside walks and a compact village community; local life mixes small businesses and agriculture with a large number of commuters using nearby road and rail links. There’s a quiet, layered history here - from historic river crossings and coaching routes to more recent suburban influences - so it’s a place where countryside character and practical connections sit side by side.
