A small but historically fascinating village on the Grand Union Canal, Grafton Regis sits in gentle countryside between Towcester and Milton Keynes. It was once home to Grafton Manor, home of the Dukes of Grafton, and has a charming village green and interesting historic buildings. The village is tiny in scale but rich in character.
