About Upton

Upton is a small, historic farming hamlet in the civil parish of Dinton with Ford and Upton, characterised by traditional barns, public footpaths and wide countryside views. The hamlet lies immediately north of Dinton and is separated from it by the Dinton Folly vineyard and the remains of Dinton Castle, a picturesque mock‑fortified folly. Archaeological earthworks mark the site of the medieval manor once held by the Mayne family.

Local amenities are within easy reach: the village of Stone (around 1 mile) provides a shop/post office, school and public house, while the larger market towns of Thame and Aylesbury are a short drive away. The area is served by regular bus links and offers good road connections to the M40 (J7/J8A). Rail services from Haddenham & Thame Parkway provide fast connections to London Marylebone.
