Walton Court is a housing estate in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England.
Through the 1990s the estate became well known as an area with a very high crime rate and parts of the estate have had to have been redesigned or rebuilt to overcome some of the difficulties. It remains an area of high social deprivation. Walton Court stretches from the A418 Oxford Road running down the South side of Churchill Avenue to Ellen Road. The estate was built during the 1970s as part of a major housing expansion. The land had formerly been farmland, and for some time was known as Walton Court Farm, after the estate.
Although mostly housing, Walton Court also has Ashmead Combined School, a mixed, community primary school, which has approximately 475 pupils from the age of four through to the age of eleven (Nursery to Year 6), Mandeville Upper School (Year 7 to Sixth Form) and until the year 2000, Willowmead School. On Hannon Road is the Walton Court Shopping Centre and Walton Court Social Club. A new centre was opened in the former doctors surgery called the Healthy Living Centre which features a cafe, Internet Facilities and regular educational classes. This has provided a new focal point to the area.
