Stotfold is a small market town and civil parish in Central Bedfordshire, England, set in the valley of the River Ivel. It sits close to the A1(M) and neighbouring towns such as Letchworth Garden City and Arlesey, which makes it convenient for commuters travelling to London or nearby employment centres like Bedford.
The town has visible historic roots and is best known locally for the restored working Stotfold Mill on the river, alongside riverside walks and nature spots. Today Stotfold mixes light industry and retail with a largely residential community; local sports clubs, community events and conservation projects around the Ivel help give the town a strong village‑scale social feel despite its commuter links.
