Olney is a beautiful market town set on the edge of three counties: Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire and Bedfordshire. The attractive wide high street and market place is home to a fascinating collection of architecturally varied buildings dating back many centuries, while the tall spire of Saint Peter and Saint Paul's Church looks over the town. The wide variety of shops, cafés, bars and restaurants are evidence of the bustling nature of the town. A busy market takes place every Thursday, and there is a farmer's market on the first Sunday of every month..
