More about Akeley

Buckinghamshire, England

Akeley is a quiet spot in Buckinghamshire where the local shops often manage to host something decent on a Saturday afternoon. The village hall usually has a few stalls up for sale and the community centre runs its usual bingo night if you fancy a game. It might not be London, but it gets the job done without needing a map or a guidebook. There are plenty of places nearby if you need to stretch your legs after the main event. A short drive takes you to the big towns where the cinema screens the latest film and the sports club plays its weekly match. We keep this little corner tidy so you can find what you need without hunting for hours.
