Whaddon is a small village just outside Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire. It is at the heart of the ancient Whaddon Chase, a former royal hunting ground, now a designated area of Special Landscape Interest.

The village has an interesting history. Nearby are the earthworks of a former Benedictine priory, Snelshall Priory. Whaddon Hall served as Section VIII of the MI6 during the Second World War, a branch of Bletchley Park’s operations.

There are a number of paths and bridleways to explore in the countryside surrounding the village. Afterwards, the New Lowndes Arms is a good place to refuel. Its Sunday roasts have an excellent reputation.
