The '''Aylesbury Vale''' (or '''Vale of Aylesbury''') is a large area of flat land largely to be found in
Buckinghamshire,
England. Its boundary is marked by
Milton Keynes to the north,
Leighton Buzzard and the
Chiltern Hills to the east and south,
Thame to the south and
Bicester to the west.
The vale is named after
Aylesbury, the county town of Buckinghamshire, which stands at its centre. Two other towns lie within the vale and they are
Winslow, Buckinghamshire Winslow and
Buckingham.
The bed of the vale is largely made up of
clay that was formed at the end of the
ice age. Also at this time the vast underground reserves of water that make the
water table higher than average in the Vale of Aylesbury were created.
Today the area is a
Non-metropolitan district local government district of northern Buckinghamshire, administered by Aylesbury Vale District Council. This district was formed on
April 1,
1974 by the merger of the boroughs of
Aylesbury and
Buckingham,
Aylesbury Rural District,
Buckingham Rural District,
Wing Rural District and part of
Winslow Rural District.
In the
2001 United Kingdom UK census the population of Aylesbury Vale was 165,748, representing an increase since
1991 of 18,600 people[http://www.statistics.gov.uk/census2001/profiles/11ub.asp]. About half of those live in the
county town Aylesbury.
