Old Warden is a small, picturesque village and civil parish in Central Bedfordshire, set in the rolling agricultural countryside of Bedfordshire. It sits a short distance from the market towns of Biggleswade and Sandy, and retains a compact historic core of cottages and a medieval parish church that reflect its long rural past.
The parish is best known for the Shuttleworth Collection and its airfield on the estate, where vintage aircraft and vehicles are preserved and demonstrated during regular air displays and heritage events, drawing visitors and supporting local tourism. Day-to-day life remains quiet and community-focused, with farming still important to the local economy and village hall activities and occasional events giving a social hub to residents.
