Ford is a small village located in the county of Buckinghamshire, England. The village is situated on the banks of the River Ouse and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village is known for its historic buildings, including the 13th-century church of St. Mary the Virgin. The village is also home to a number of small businesses, including a post office, a pub, and a village store. The village is a popular destination for tourists who come to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and explore the local area.

One of the most notable features of Ford is its proximity to the city of Milton Keynes.
