It lies 3.7 km north-west of Woburn (from Woburn: bearing 325°T, OS grid SP 927 361), and is situated north of Aspley Heath village. Originally a collection of scattered hamlets, the area developed as a convenient stopping point and later gained prominence with the arrival of the railways, fostering a modest but steady economic growth tied to agriculture and local trades.
