The village and civil parish of Northill sits in rural Central Bedfordshire, in the Ivel Valley between Sandy and Biggleswade in England. It comprises a scattering of small villages and hamlets set among arable fields, hedgerows and pockets of woodland, with a characterful mix of period cottages, village greens and farmsteads.
The hamlet of Ickwell within the parish is particularly notable for its ancient maypole and traditional May Day celebrations, one of the area's longest‑running local customs. The parish has medieval roots and several listed buildings; the local economy remains largely agricultural while many residents commute to nearby towns, and community life revolves around village halls, clubs and annual events.
