Roxton is a small village and civil parish in the Borough of Bedford, in Bedfordshire, England. It sits in a rural landscape a short distance from the banks of the River Great Ouse, and retains the quiet character of a traditional English village with farms, lanes and a modest population.
One of the parish’s standout features is Roxton Pits, a series of flooded gravel pits and wildlife areas valued for birdlife and informal recreation, which gives the locality a strong nature conservation and angling interest. The local economy remains largely agricultural, though many residents travel to nearby towns for work, and village life is centred on local amenities and occasional community activities.
