St. Peter and St. Paul Church, Olney

Highlight • Religious Site

Olney is a beautiful market town on the River Great Ouse. Its picturesque streets are a great place for a mooch, with independent shops, charming cafes and traditional pubs. Just to the south of the town is excellent walking in Emberton Country Park and its pretty lakes.

The town is well known for the Olney Pancake Race, which first took place in 1445. Every year, on Shrove Tuesday, the women of Olney run and flip their pancakes over a fixed distance, all while dressed as 'traditional housewives'.

Olney Market Square

Highlight • Settlement

Famous for the hymn Amazing Grace, which was written at the Church of St Peter & St Paul at the south of the town. Handy for supermarkets, cafes and there's even a public lavatory on the square!
