Staploe is a small, largely rural civil parish in the Borough of Bedford, in Bedfordshire, lying close to the county boundary with Cambridgeshire. The landscape is typical of the Great Ouse valley region, with farmland, hedgerows and small woods and a settlement pattern made up of scattered hamlets and farms rather than a single nucleated village.
Its character reflects agricultural roots and later boundary adjustments in the 20th century, so you’ll find a mix of older cottages and converted farm buildings alongside more modern homes. A modest, active parish community relies on nearby towns such as St Neots and Bedford for shops and rail links, which makes the area attractive to people seeking rural living within reach of larger centres and London.
