A bit of local history - but actually, Olney is such a lovely market town, we enjoy just poodling about in its charity and boutiquey shops, finishing in one of it's cafes. There is a nice walk from Clifton Reynes to Olney we like to do with the kids - finishing at the Courtyard Brasserie in Rose Court.
