About

Great Paxton ward encompasses the villages of Great Paxton, Little Paxton, and Diddington, situated along the western bank of the River Great Ouse. The area is characterised by its low-lying, open farmland and river valley landscape. The settlement pattern is primarily residential, with a mix of older village cores and more recent housing developments, particularly in Little Paxton. The ward's geography is defined by its proximity to the river and the A1 road, which runs along its western edge, influencing its connectivity and development.

A notable historical feature is the 11th-century St James' Church in Great Paxton, a former collegiate church with distinctive Saxon-Norman transitional architecture. The area includes the Paxton Pits Nature Reserve, a series of former gravel workings now managed as lakes and habitats for wildlife, especially heronries. The landscape is largely agricultural, with the river providing a focus for local recreation and environmental management across the villages.
