Thatched cottages in Ford

The place name is Anglo Saxon in origin and refers simply to the place where a stream crosses the main road via a ford.

The 16th Century pub in Ford, previously closed but now reopened under new ownership, is named after The Dinton Hermit.[1] As well as being an old coaching inn on the main route between Aylesbury and Thame, it is one of several Grade II listed buildings in Ford.[2] The barn, now converted into hotel bedrooms, is built mostly of witchert - a local material.

Every Wednesday and Friday morning at 10:30 a bus runs from the Dinton Hermit crossroads into Aylesbury, returning at approximately 13:30.
