The town lies to the east of the River Ivel in the centre of the old market gardening area of Bedfordshire. Situated off the old north road it was an important coaching centre in the Middle Ages and the Saturday market was founded here in the 13th century. The market square has some attractive old buildings including the old Market House. The old Oldwarden Aerodrome houses the Shuttleworth Collection of Historic Aeroplanes and Cars.
