Biddenham is a ward and village on the western edge of Bedford, perched above the meanders of the River Great Ouse. It blends a compact historic core - with a medieval parish church and a number of listed houses - with more modern suburban developments, surrounded by countryside and greenbelt that give the area a distinct semi-rural feel despite its proximity to the town.
Locally there are good amenities and schools, including Biddenham International School, and an active community life centred on the village hall, sports clubs and local pubs. The ward is popular with commuters working in Bedford and further afield, and its mix of attractive housing, open space and local character makes it one of the more sought-after residential parts of the borough.
