It seemed right there should be a 'Visit Olney' tourist information website to act as an international showcase for the town. And with so many events locally, people who live and work could also also benefit from an easy to use calendar of events and extensive listings of days out, clubs and activities. That was the thinking behind www.visitolney.com and sister site www.olneyonline.com. Hopefully, you'll use it to plan where to go at the weekend or to eat out. OlneyOnline.com also has extensive business contacts will help you find everything from an accountant to a plumber. It also means that every single business in Olney can have a presence on the internet. All businesses can have a free basic listing. But for those which take out a 'premium' listing there's a link to their own site, or for those without one they can direct customers to their information on the site. Please see the next page for more information. There have been a flood of positive comments we have had about the sites. This is what the local MP, Mark Lancaster said: "It is great that Olney has its own dedicated websites to tell our new arrivals and life-long residents as well as visitors what is going on in our town. Olney and the surrounding villages and towns have so much to offer that you can sometimes get lost in all the information; www.visitolney.com makes deciding where to go and what to do in North Bucks easier than ever before." This is what a traveller who stayed in Olney this summer said: "After a hectic half year in our hometown in America, our family needed a pet-friendly, restful place to stay in the middle of the English countryside. Yet we didn’t want a place cut-off from the outside world, far away from amenities such as restaurants, shops, and interesting places to visit. We had never heard of Olney until we came across (it on) the Internet. Here was what we were looking for – a quaint village with a market square, as well as a wide variety of shops, restaurants, cafes, tearooms and pubs. Having explored the web for other villages, Olney stood out as a crown jewel among the gems of Buckinghamshire. In addition, thanks to the informative and easy to navigate website: www.visitolney.com, we could plan our days out. By just a point and click of the mouse, we’ve found information on nature rambles, upcoming events in the diary, sports’ activities, historical houses, market days, as well as shops, eateries and pubs. Before we even arrived, we were able to find details of the local pet shop, put our order in for pet food and supplies and then, upon landing, the shop had it all ready for us. How cool is that! Now we direct our friends and family to the website, letting them know about our wonderful trip and spreading the word about Olney. Thanks, C.H, Writer."
