The village is situated approximately 5 miles south-west of the town of Towcester and 8 miles north-west of the city of Milton Keynes. Deanshanger has a population of around 2,000 people and is a popular residential area due to its proximity to major towns and cities.

The village has a rich history dating back to the 11th century when it was known as Dingesangra. The name Deanshanger is believed to have originated from the Old English words "denu" meaning valley and "sangra" meaning sandy bank.

Today, Deanshanger is a thriving community with a range of local amenities including a primary school, village hall, post office, and several shops and pubs.

Deanshanger is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is a popular destination for walkers and cyclists. The village is located close to several nature reserves including the Grand Union Canal and the River Tove.

Local Dog Walks

Bancroft Park
This Is A Nice 1 Hour Walk, Plenty Of Friendly Dogs And Owners Allow Socializing. There Is A Roman Villa To Look Around, The Gravel Path Leads Around A Stream And Meadow Area. At The Bradwell End You Can Walk Up To The Concrete Cows, Although If Your Dog(S) Aren't Used To Being Off Leash Then Put Them On The Lead At That Point Due To A Busy Dual Carriageway (Monks Way). If You Continued Under Monks Way, You Can Follow The Redway To Bradwell Abbey, A Norman Abbey With A Chapel Still Standing. Back Toward Bancroft There Is A Small Wooded Area Following The Railway Back Into The Park. Squirrels, Rabbits, Jays, Woodpeckers And Other Birds Can Be Seen/Heard.
