Tempsford is a small village and civil parish in Central Bedfordshire, England, sitting on the east bank of the River Great Ouse close to the A1 and within easy reach of Sandy and Bedford. Its setting is distinctly rural, with riverside paths, farmland and a compact village centre that makes it popular with walkers and commuters who travel into nearby towns.
Tempsford has notable historic interest thanks to RAF Tempsford, a secret World War II airfield that dispatched special operations flights and is commemorated locally; the village retains a quiet community feel with agriculture still important to the local economy. In recent years the area has attracted attention for proposed development around Tempsford Garden Village, reflecting ongoing change as well as efforts to preserve the village's historic character.
