About

Goldington sits to the east of Bedford town centre and began as a separate village before being absorbed as the town expanded. The area is centred on Goldington Road, which runs into the town and carries a short parade of shops, a village hall and several local services. Housing ranges from older terraces and cottages near the original village core to mid‑20th century estates and infill developments. Local primary schools, community centres and small businesses serve residents, and the ward structure means the neighbourhood is represented within Bedford Borough Council.

Green space and sport play a noticeable role in everyday life, with playing fields, allotments and pocket parks used by clubs and families. A network of footpaths and quiet streets makes cycling and walking into the town centre straightforward for commuters and shoppers. Public transport links connect the area to Bedford railway station and the town’s main shopping and civic facilities, while local volunteer groups and parish organisations run seasonal events and activities that reflect Goldington’s roots as a former village.
