Wootton & Kempston Rural

The Wootton & Kempston Rural ward is located to the west of Bedford town centre, encompassing the large village of Wootton and surrounding countryside. The area is primarily residential, with modern housing developments alongside older village cores. It contains several schools, local shops, and community facilities, serving its settled population. The landscape includes agricultural fields and pockets of woodland, providing a green buffer from the more urban areas to the east.

A notable feature is the presence of the Bedford Autodrome, a motorsport circuit and business park situated within the ward's boundaries. The area is defined by the A421 road, which runs along its southern edge, connecting to the wider road network. Public transport links focus on bus services into Bedford. The overall character is one of a suburban and semi-rural community on the outskirts of the town.
