About

Potton is a market town situated in the east of Central Bedfordshire, near the borders with Cambridgeshire. The area is characterised by a mix of residential streets and local commerce centred around its historic market square. Surrounding farmland and several small woodlands define the rural edges of the settlement.

The town's layout still follows its medieval plan, with streets radiating from the central square. Local brickmaking historically used the distinctive Potton clay, giving many older buildings a particular reddish-brown hue. A traditional street market continues to be held weekly, maintaining its long-standing role in the local economy.
