Ridgmont is a small village in Central Bedfordshire, England, set on the edge of the Marston Vale between Bedford and Milton Keynes. It has a station on the Marston Vale line linking Bedford and Bletchley and lies close to the M1, making it a quiet but convenient spot for commuters and visitors alike.
Historically the village was tied to the brickmaking and clay-extraction industry that shaped much of the Marston Vale, and traces of that industrial past sit alongside farmland, small woods and pockets of wildlife-friendly restoration. Today Ridgmont keeps a tight-knit rural character with a modest village core, some local businesses and the mix of historic cottages and Victorian buildings typical of Bedfordshire settlements.
