Great Brickhill is a village of just under 900 persons situated in North East Buckinghamshire, surrounded by an Area of Attractive Landscape.

The village is situated some 6 km to the North of Leighton Buzzard, 18 km North East of Aylesbury & 10 km South East of Central Milton Keynes and sits at an altitude of approximately 140m above sea level on Cretaceous aged sandstone known locally as The Greensand Ridge.

The lower lying land to the North and North West of the village centre are comprised of Jurassic aged clays, which has been mined for many centuries in nearby Newton Longville as it forms an excellent raw material for brick making. Many of the stone buildings in the village are built from locally quarried sandstone, the brick buildings are formed from locally manufactured bricks and most probably the sand used in the mortar comes from quarries in nearby Heath & Reach.

The village has a wide variety of social & sporting clubs which you can find out more about in our monthly newsletter.

Administratively it is served by Buckinghamshire County and Aylesbury Vale District Councils both of which are located in Aylesbury, and served locally by the Great Brickhill Parish Council. The village sits within the Parliamentary Constituency of Buckingham.
