Aspley Heath
Aspley Heath is a village and civil parish in the Central Bedfordshire district of Bedfordshire, England, elevated and small in population and area, mostly covered by New Wavendon Heath and a smaller mixed eponymous woodland. It was until some time after 1912 part of Aspley Guise.[n 1][2] The Office for National Statistics records the village as part of the Woburn Sands urban subdivision of the Milton Keynes urban area.[3] In addition to the village of Aspley Heath itself, the civil parish also includes part of the town of Woburn Sands, the rest of which is in the City of Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire.
