Wootton is a large village and civil parish on the southern edge of Bedford in the county of Bedfordshire, England. It has a recognisable historic core with a parish church of medieval origin and a mix of older cottages and more recent housing developments.
The parish balances a rural setting - with surrounding farmland and proximity to the River Great Ouse - with commuter-friendly links, many residents travelling into Bedford or London for work. Local life centres on village amenities such as shops, a primary school, sports clubs and a community centre, and recent decades of steady housing growth have changed the social and economic mix while retaining a strong community feel.
