Known for the Olney Hymns by John Newton and William Cowper, and the Olney Pancake Race, the market own of Olney in Buckinghamshire sits close to the borders of both Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire and is situated on the Great Ouse River.
Olney is a popular town with tourists and is very accessible, being close to junction 14 of the M1, with train access being available via either Bedford or Milton Keynes stations. Follow the links to find holiday cottages and lets available in this area on Go2, or view the surrounding area on the map below.
Stretching from the banks of the Thames to the Vale Of Aylesbury, and within easy reach of London, this is the ideal place for a rural escape, as you’ll discover with one of our holiday cottages in Buckinghamshire.
The rolling Chiltern Hills and the beautiful Vale of Aylesbury make this one of the loveliest of the Home Counties, location for many of the scenes in TV’s Midsomer Murders. Visit the wonderful Stowe Park, one of the most ambitious of England’s great landscaped gardens, with its profusion of monuments, temples, grottoes, statues and ornamental lakes. Waddesdon Manor also makes a great day out from our holiday cottages in Buckinghamshire. Built in the style of a 16th Century French Chateau by the Rothschilds, it features some superb examples of French decorative art.
For a taste of the high life, take a trip to Cliveden, home of the Astors, while the museum at Bletchley Park gives a fascinating insight into World War II codebreakers and the enigma machine. Another fascinating place to visit here is the Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre in Great Missenden – great for Dahl fans of all ages.

Travelling to or from Ireland? Don't forget the ferry! Not only does it give you
the freedom of taking your own car but it provides a superb experience of travelling
by sea and exploring the coastline. With convenient routes between Holyhead and Dublin, or Pembroke and Rosslare, we recommend
Irish Ferries for great, low-cost, transport. They are the leading Irish ferry company and provide both an excellent service, and excellent prices.

User Guides
Olney is well worth visiting, and most of its key points of interest can be seen in half a day. Every visitor will be struck by the main road going through the village, as very historic and impressive houses and buildings line both sides and so it is very picturesque. Indeed, although being in Buckinghamshire (and only a few miles from Milton Keynes) it actually has the feel of a Cotswold village. There is a market square too, again with historic buildings on all sides. One such buidling is the famous "Newton and Cowper Museum" - which is a "must visit" attraction. This museum is dedicated to Olney's two most famous residents - the Rev John Newton and the poet William Cowper. These men were both Christians, and John Newton is well known for being a cruel slave trader who was converted to Christ, and amongst his hymns are "Amazing Grace". The village has many good places to eat and specialised shops. Once a year, there is the famous Olney Pancake Race. Also not to be missed is the river and old mill, and indeed there are numerous walks by the river and meadows.
