Welcome to Ford

Ford is a small village located in the county of Buckinghamshire, England. The village is situated on the banks of the River Ouse and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village is known for its historic buildings, including the 13th-century church of St. Mary the Virgin. The village is also home to a number of small businesses, including a post office, a pub, and a village store. The village is a popular destination for tourists who come to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and explore the local area.

One of the most notable features of Ford is its proximity to the city of Milton Keynes. Milton Keynes is a large town located just a few miles from Ford and is home to a number of major businesses and attractions. The town is known for its modern architecture and is home to a number of shopping centers, restaurants, and entertainment venues. Many residents of Ford work in Milton Keynes, making it an important economic center for the region.

Despite its small size, Ford has a rich history that dates back to the medieval period. The village was once an important center for agriculture and was home to a number of farms and mills. Today, many of these historic buildings have been converted into homes and businesses, preserving the village's unique character and charm. Visitors to Ford can explore the village's history by visiting the local museum or taking a guided tour of the area.
