Map of the UK

Northill is a small rural village and civil parish in Central Bedfordshire, lying a few miles from the market towns of Biggleswade and Sandy. The parish includes hamlets such as Ickwell, Upper Caldecote and Lower Caldecote; historically agricultural, it now combines farming with a significant commuter population working in nearby towns or travelling to London.

The village retains a historic core with a medieval parish church and several timber-framed and brick cottages, and local life centres on village halls, clubs and the occasional pub. A notable cultural highlight is the long-running maypole and May Day celebrations at Ickwell, and the parish’s quiet lanes and greens make it typical of Bedfordshire’s pleasant rural communities.
