Biggleswade is a market town and civil parish located on the River Ivel in Bedfordshire, England. It is growing in population mainly because of good transport links along the A1 road between London and the North, and via Biggleswade railway station on the East Coast Main Line). New housing developments continue.
Biggleswade is located about 40 miles (60 km) north of Central London and 20 miles (30 km) to the west-south-west of Cambridge. Situated with a station on the East Coast Main Line, Biggleswade is around half-an-hour from the capital city by train. In 2011 the population of the town was about 16,550. The Biggleswade civil parish also includes the nearby hamlet of Holme, Bedfordshire.
The town lies just off the A1, Britain's Great North Road between London and Edinburgh - and the B1040, which leads to Potton in the north, runs through the town. Biggleswade is also situated on the A6001, which leads to Langford and Henlow to the south. At the north end of Biggleswade past Shortmead House lies a solar power farm, whilst a wind farm of ten turbines sits beyond the south end of the town, towards Langford.
The area around Biggleswade is thought to have been inhabited from around 10,000 BC, with arrowheads dating from this period believed to have been found in the region. In Roman times, a loop road known as the White Way passed through Biggleswade (possibly along the course of the present-day Drove Road), linking up with the Ermine Way at Godmanchester.
Biggleswade Swimming Club celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2006. It now uses the new indoor Saxon Pool and Leisure Centre, which underwent expansion in 2015 to add a new sports hall to the back of the complex. There is also a small skatepark located behind the complex, next to the local park.
The town has two football clubs – Biggleswade Town, of the Southern League Premier Division, and Biggleswade United, of the Spartan South Midlands Premier Division. Biggleswade United has recently been given a boost in awareness by Sky Sports pundit Guillem Balague's appointment as Director of Football.

10 Most Hated Towns in England
What are the most hated towns in England? No matter how good a country is, every part of it can’t be loved equally. In fact, some parts of it are bound to be hated. Even the most fanatic lover of a country will love some parts of it less than others. I have heard some people complaining about some towns in England, the home of the Queen that some people are dying to live and work in. That prompts research into the 10 most hated towns in England.
This ranking is based mainly on the comments and complaints of residents of England and visitors to those towns. But it’s not limited to that since some complaints can be completely baseless. We dig deeper in researching these 10 most hated towns in England.
10. Slough
Let’s begin with Slough, a town in Berkshire, within the historic county of Buckinghamshire. This town is 20 miles west of central London and 19 miles northeast of Reading. You will find the town in the Thames Valley and within the London metropolis around the area at the intersection of the M4.
In spite of its location, Slough according to those visitors, is a town whose streets are littered with empty takeaway and full of packets or empty beer cans. This assertion hasn’t been contradicted by even just one resident. The quality of food in the town’s restaurants appears, kind of, made for losers who’re just out to eat as much unhealthy food as they can get away with.
9. Scunthorpe
It’s not desirable to find Scunthorpe among the most hated towns in England. Unfortunately, we can’t afford to take it out of our list because the facts obviously place it there. This industrial town in the unitary authority of North Lincolnshire should normally be the pride of Lincolnshire as its main administrative center. But the town with an estimated population of 82,334 in 2016 had many things going against it.
Residents of the UK’s largest steel processing center, also known as the Industrial Garden Town, are frustrated by a lack of the liveliness and diversity in the town only known for work. However, the loudest grouse that lists Scunthorpe alongside the most hated towns in England is the indiscriminate censorship and blocking of websites for spurious reasons.

Berkhamsted | Historic Market Town in England 🏴
Berkhamsted lies on the western edge of Hertfordshire, bordering the Chiltern Hills. Over much of the last millennium it was an important market town with strong royal and literary connections; today it is a vibrant residential and cultural centre, and while it is now part of the Borough of Dacorum it has retained its own strong identity. Together with the adjoining village of Northchurch it is separated from other towns and villages by lovely countryside, all of it in the Metropolitan Green Belt and much of it classified as being an area of outstanding natural beauty.

Biggleswade Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Bedfordshire, and around 40 miles north of London, is the town of Biggleswade.
Geographically Biggleswade is situated on the east bank of the River Ivel in close proximity to the historic Great North Road, also known as Ermine Street. The name 'Biggleswade' is thought to derive from 'Biceil', an Anglo-Saxon personal name, and 'Waed', a Saxon name for ford or shallow river crossing. A settlement is believed to have existed here from as early as the 5th century.
A market charter was granted to Biggleswade by King John in the early 13th-century. Industry was primarily agricultural. By 1631 there were five fairs with corn, livestock, and plait markets up to the 20th century. Owing to its location along the Great North Road, Biggleswade had a bustling industry as a coaching stop in the era prior to the railways. A few former coaching inns remain in the town to this day, the oldest of which is The White Hart, dating from the 17th century. This is featured around the 5-and-a-half-minute mark, and again around the 9-minute mark.
In 1785 a great fire broke out in Biggleswade, destroying nearly one third of the town. The fire claimed over 100 houses and nine maltings. It took reportedly around four hours for the townspeople to bring the flames under control.
In 1850 the railway arrived in Biggleswade with a station opened by the Great Northern Railway. Today it is situated on the East Coast Main Line with direct services between Peterborough to the north and London Kings Cross to the south, as well as Horsham via London St Pancras.
The inventor Daniel Albone was born in Biggleswade in 1860. He is famed for creating the first successful light farm tractor, and the Ivel Safety bicycle. The term 'safety bicycle' comes from the 1880s in reference to a bicycle with normal-sized wheels, as opposed to the iconic and somewhat hilarious penny-farthings of the time.
In 1961 the Biggleswade A1 bypass opened. Naturally, this reduced traffic in the town centre considerably.

Sandy is a small market town and civil parish in Bedfordshire, England. It lies between Cambridge and Bedford, on the A1 road from London to Edinburgh. The area is dominated by a range of low hills known as the Sand Hills. The River Ivel runs through the town. The Anglican church is dedicated to St Swithun.
Sandy is probably best known today as the headquarters of the RSPB. The Society moved to the Lodge, on the outskirts of the town, in 1961. The Shuttleworth Collection is also nearby, around 2 miles (3 km) south west of Sandy. The Riddy is a flood meadow on the Ivel and a local nature reserve.
An archaeological dig in May 2006 revealed that the area may have been settled earlier than 250 BC. However Sandy was a Roman settlement and was probably an important trading centre and staging post in the Roman era. An ancient hill fort, now heavily wooded and traditionally known as Caesar's Camp although more commonly called the sand hills or the lookout, still overlooks the town.
Sandy is referred to in the Domesday Book, as Sandeia, a derivation from the Old English Sandieg, meaning a sand-island. In 1086 Sandy was listed in the Domesday Book as being held by Eudo Fitzhubert, who is likely to have been the tenant. He was probably also known as Eudo Dapifer, who was a high steward for William the Conqueror, and based in Colchester Castle.
In addition there were also two mills listed, and both of these would have been water-powered. There are still references to one of them in the road name Mill Lane which runs along the River Ivel. However the mill has since been replaced by housing. Further down the river from the site where the mill once stood is Sandye Place Academy where it is believed there was a Danish camp which was built to protect the Danelaw in 886. Evidence at the Riddy, a local nature reserve just south of Sandy, shows that mill-building has taken place on this site since at least the time of the Norman era, though the last mill was built here in 1857.
Sandy is situated on the A1 which hugs the western edge of the town. The A603 leads west towards Bedford; the B1042 leads east towards Potton and Cambridge. There are a number of bus routes, principally the 73 from Biggleswade to Bedford.
Sandy has a railway station which is on the East Coast Main Line. Services north to Peterborough and south to London King's Cross are provided by Thameslink and Great Northern. The Varsity Line, which connected Oxford to Cambridge, also ran through Sandy, stopping at Girtford Halt railway station, at the north end of the bypass. From Bedford to Sandy, the line is now part of the NCR 51 cycle route. This line is currently being considered for re-introduction as part of the East West rail link.

Visiting Digswell Viaduct (Welwyn Viaduct) near Welwyn Garden City in England [4K/HD]
So this amazing historic sight that towers over you, getting higher and high the closer you get! It is know as either the Digswell Viaduct, or the Welwyn Viaduct and at standing tall 100ft from the ground upwards, it's a sight to see. It took a while to build as you can imagine, and built between 1848 & 1850 although I feel they built it fast when you think about how they built it all those years ago, It opened officially on the 6th August 1850 by Queen Victoria.
The train station I got off at to go and see it was Welwyn Garden City, which takes about 20 minutes from Tottenham. The viaduct was designed by William Cubitt, who was also the architect for Kings Cross Station. Thomas Brassey was the engineer in charge of the project.
So now we have that facts, I want to say how I felt walking up to it as I knew nothing about the viaduct before I went to Welwyn Garden City. In fact I had been there a few times and didn't even know it was there! I was upset with myself as I would have wanted to see it years ago!
It is amazing, when you first walk up, it's so small the it feels like it crows around you like a big bear, but you are reminded that it is a tough piece of work because you can hear the metal at the top in the wind. The train ran over the top along the tracks and I couldn't help but wonder if the people on the train knew anything of this splendour that they are travelling over!
Is it worth a visit? Yes in my view but be warned, it stands there tall but you could walk past it and not know it is there as it does not shout at you, only waits silently for you to find it!
And you do have to look to find access to it like I did, which hopefully I helped with the route.

This UK Town is Twins with a Paradise Island... but why? 🇬🇧
The strange story of how a very normal UK town became twinned with a Paradise Island over 6000 miles away...
Staines is probably most famous for being the home of Ali G, but this strange UK town also hit the headlines when it officially twinned with the paradise island of Mauritius. I decided to visit Staines to find out why.

Places to see in ( Ampthill - UK )
Places to see in ( Ampthill - UK )
Ampthill is a small town and civil parish in Bedfordshire, England, between Bedford and Luton, with a population of about 7,000. It is administered by Central Bedfordshire Council. A regular market has taken place on Thursdays for centuries. The name 'Ampthill' is of Anglo-Saxon origin. The first settlement was called 'Aemethyll', which literally means either 'ant-heap' or 'ant infested hill'. In the Domesday Book, Ampthill is referred to as 'Ammetelle', with the landholder in 1086 being Nigel de la Vast. The actual entry reads: Ammetelle: Nigel de la Vast from Nigel d'Aubigny. A further variation may be 'Hampthull', in 1381.
Ampthill is a commercial centre for surrounding villages; it has several pubs, restaurants, a Waitrose supermarket and a selection of small independent specialist shops. A number of small businesses such as solicitors, estate agents, financial services, hairdressers, music schools and a bookshop are also located in town, with larger businesses found on the commercial and industrial developments on the outskirts, along the town's bypass.
Ampthill is one of the most expensive places to buy a house in Bedfordshire, even in comparison with other mid-Bedfordshire towns such as neighbouring Flitwick, and Cranfield. In a survey, it was found that the majority of Ampthill's workers are employed locally, with around 20% working in Ampthill itself, and most of the remainder travelling to nearby centres of employment such as Bedford, Luton and Milton Keynes. Around 13% of workers commute from Ampthill to London daily.
Ampthill has a non-League football team, Ampthill Town F.C. who play at Ampthill Park. Ampthill Super7s is the local 7-a-side football league. It takes place every Monday and Thursday at Redborne Upper School. The town's rugby union club Ampthill RUFC was established in 1881 and plays in National League 1 the third from top tier league in the English rugby union system
Ampthill is host to an annual Ampthill Festival weekend which includes a live rock music event AmpRocks; acts such as Razorlight and Toploader have performed there. It also includes Ampthill Park Proms, with orchestra and guest singers, highlighted by fireworks. This event is held in Ampthill Great Park, where a temporary soundstage is erected to entertain local residents.
Ampthill has a high concentration of public amenities, including schools, doctors surgeries, a fire and ambulance station. The Bedfordshire Railway & Transport Association is campaigning for the reopening of Ampthill railway station which closed in 1959.
The church of St Andrew ranges in date from Early English to Perpendicular. Houghton House was built in 1621 by Mary, Countess of Pembroke and sister of the poet Sir Philip Sidney. In 1675, the house may have provided the inspiration for 'House Beautiful' in John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress.
