Teedon Gardens - Retirement Living - McCarthy Stone

The town also provides residents with the best of both worlds. Olney is surrounded by gorgeous countryside and lies on the River Great Ouse, but the extensive amenities of Northampton, Milton Keynes, Bedford and Wellingborough are all within 10 miles of our retirement bungalows in Olney.

The town itself is also home to a wide array of independent shops and boutiques. Many of these also attract shoppers from further afield who want to marvel at the galleries, antique stores and the designer shops. Along the streets of Olney, you’ll also find a large range of high street retailers, such as Costa Coffee and the Co-Op.

High Street and Market Place are the centre of life in Olney. They’re home to a great range of international restaurants, and they also play host to various markets. This includes a monthly farmers’ market, a weekly general market and the annual pancake race, which has been a continual fixture of life in Olney since 1445.
