Backnoe End is a small rural hamlet on the outskirts of Bedford in Bedfordshire, England. It sits amid farmland and country lanes and the "End" in its name reflects its history as an outlying settlement clustered around a few farms and cottages rather than a formal village centre.
Historically agricultural, the area still shows that character in historic farmsteads and hedged fields, but many residents now commute into Bedford or further afield. Local social life and amenities tend to be centred in nearby villages and the town, while Backnoe End is valued for its quiet, village-like atmosphere and easy access to countryside walks.
