Buckingham, used to be the county town of Buckinghamshire but is not no longer, having been replaced by Aylesbury. It is situated at the north of the county approx 10 miles south of Northamptonshire

There are two main roads crossing Buckingham, namely the A421 and the A413. Leaving Buckingham on the A413 northbound you will pass through the village of Maids Moreton. It is home to the [[UK]'s first and only private university, which was founded as the University College of Buckingham in 1976, before becoming the University of Buckingham in 1983. Unlike other UK universities, most of its students are from overseas.

Nearby towns include Aylesbury, Bicester, Brackley, Milton Keynes, and Towcester.


A town named Buckingham was a suburb of Dallas, Texas, USA before being annexed by the neighboring suburb of Richardson in the 1990s.
