Olney
Olney is a market town and civil church in the District of Milton Keynes in South East England. At the 2011 Census, it had a population of around 6,500 people. It lies on the River Great Ouse, very close to the boundaries of Buckinghamshire with Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire, and also equidistant from Northampton, Bedford and Milton Keynes. It is accessed by the M1 at Junction 14 (around 7 miles), with the closest passenger rail solution at Milton Keynes Central as well as Bedford railway stations (each about twelve miles far-off). It is a prominent tourist location, perhaps best recognized for the Olney Pancake Race and for the Olney Hymns by William Cowper and John Newton.
