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.

Bedfordshire Village Walks (Part 4): Clophill to Ampthill
This walk starts in the Bedfordshire village of Clophill, situated about five miles south of the County town of Bedford. We start off by walking up the hill to visit the notorious ruins of St Mary's old church, which received much media attention in the '60's and 70's when it was discovered that Black Mass rituals and Devil worship were taking place here. It also has a reputation for many paranormal events? We than walk out to the neighbouring village of Maulden, where we stop for a drink in the beautiful old-world public house 'The White Hart'. We then continue on to Ampthill, where we visit the church to view an unusual monument to a historical character. Then we walk up to the hilltop in Ampthill Park to see the historical monuments there. We finish off by stopping by the ruins of Houghton House before walking back to Clophill.

Dunstable Street & Flitwick Road - A Tour Around the Streets of Ampthill
DUNSTABLE STREET, though victim of too much traffic, has some historic and distinctive features. Number 105 was in the late 18th and early 19th centuries the home of the Royal School of Embroidering Females who, under the patronage of Queen Charlotte, made many of the complex and lavish hangings used in the refurbishing of Windsor Castle in hand at that time. On the opposite side of the road The Gazebo is all that remains of an extensive mid-18th century estate which stretched from the road the site of the Alameda where there was an artificial 'Canal' to give focal point to the garden. The house, which belonged to this estate, stood at the edge of the footpath where numbers 84 and 86 now stand. In 1882 the canal estate was developed, the house pulled down and replaced by two villas built adjoining their new chapel by the Methodist trustees.
'The imposing Methodist Church was designed by Charles Bell of London and 'opened on 13th August 1884 (replacing an earlier building in Wobum Street) known by the locals as the Wesleyan Cathedral.
The Old Sun Public House was built in 1766 and was originally two cottages. It became a pub in 1798 and was sold to Morriss, the local Ampthill brewery.
The Baptist Church further along the road, was built on a site acquired in 1822 and stood back from the pavement. Extensions in 1870 brought the buildings forward by creating a vestibule, and in 1893 accommodation was doubled by the erection of an adjoining Sunday School room and vestry.
AMPTHILL HALL began existence as a bam belonging to Christopher Bennell where the Quakers started holding meetings in 1726. Rebuilt from the old materials on the same site in 1753, it was extended to its present size in 1768, and continued in use as a meeting house until the early 1900s. For many years it served as Saint Andrew's Church hall, but was purchased by the Council in the 1970s for conversion to public use. The front section of the hall is a 19th century addition. Quaker meetings were resumed here in 1990. The buiding is now owned by the Cottage Bakery, after been sold by the Town Council in 2008.
The Old Mid Bedfordshire District Council's Offices in Dunstable Street were built for the Ampthill Rural District Council from designs from Ampthill Resident Professor Richardson and overtime have been considerably modified and extended. The District Council moved out of Ampthill in 2006 to their new base at Chicksands.
THE CEDARS was built as the Union Workhouse in 1836 (superseding the original House of Industry in Park Hill), the architect being James Clephane, whose other work includes Wrest Park House. The workhouse was built to accommodate 469 inmates from Ampthill and the surrounding parishes, which formed the Union, and operated under a regime of the strictest discipline and segregation. Consequently there was a great dread of 'going to the Union' which was only slightly alleviated by new legislation of 1929 which made this the Public Assistance Institution. But all that became history when, in the late 1940s, the building re-named The Cedars began valuable community service as a Local Authority old people's home, closed in the early 1990s. The buidings were converted into luxury apartments in the late 90's.
The former Board Room, built for the Poor Law Guardians in 1902, is now the town's library. Particularly noteworthy is its modem weather vane commemorating the Gold Hare ('Masquerade' by Kit Williams) treasure hunt.

Beautiful Bedfordshire - A walk from Flitwick to Ampthill Park - and possibly Katherine’s walk too
Ampthill is a town and civil parish in Bedfordshire, England, between Bedford and Luton, with a population estimate of 8,100 (Mid year estimate 2017 from the ONS). It is administered by Ampthill Town Council. The ward of Ampthill which also includes Maulden and Clophill has an estimated population of 13,280 and is administered by Central Bedfordshire Council.
Ampthill Park
Ampthill Park has a bit of everything - tremendous views from The Greensand Ridge, a fascinating heritage from Henry VIII to Capability Brown, and a diverse collection of flora and fauna.
The Park is most notable for being the site of Ampthill Castle where Henry VIII stayed and Katherine of Aragon spent a year whilst her marriage to Henry was annulled. Despite its name, this was actually a palace/manor house and not a traditional castle. Katherine’s Cross marks the site now and can be seen on the ridge if you follow the main path from the west car park. The Ampthill Camp Memorial Cross is also on the ridge.
The Greensand Trust helps manage Ampthill Park and other sites around Ampthill, on behalf of Ampthill Town Council.
We have also supported Ampthill Town Council in their successful bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund’s “Parks for People” programme which will provide enhancements to Ampthill Park and its Capability Brown-designed landscape, and plans to get more people involved in the Park and the project.
Download a map of Ampthill Park or here's a handy leaflet.

Our ‘Walk of the Month’ for October is Katherine’s Walk which takes in the Greensand Ridge and the countryside to the west of Ampthill and Flitwick. One of our fantastic volunteers, Dennis, walked the route recently and gave his highlights.
Wildlife Spot – Green Tiger Beetles at Cooper’s Hill
You’ll find interesting and varied wildlife when exploring Katherine’s Walk. Our pick of the wildlife spots is Cooper’s Hill, where you can spot iridescent Green Tiger Beetles, Minotaur Beetles, birds and reptiles amongst the heather and gorse. Also look out for Pet Piggies premises on point 10 of our walking map, where you can encounter micro pigs that have starred in TV programmes, films and advertisements!
History Spot – Katherine’s Cross
There’s so much history to see when exploring Katherine’s Walk. This walk is named after Katherine of Aragon, who was imprisoned on the Ampthill Estate during the annulment of her marriage to King Henry VIII in the early 16th Century. Katherine’s Cross (Listed Building: Grade II), is a significant feature within Ampthill Great Park and was erected in 1773 as a garden feature in Capability Brown’s new landscape.
Pit Stop – Wooden Hill Coffee
Wooden Hill Coffee makes the ideal stopping point (50m south of Point 6 on our #KatherinesWalk map leaflet). They serve award winning environmentally friendly coffee, and roast their own high quality Fairtrade coffee beans!

Picking chestnuts in Ampthill Park, Bedfordshire ????????（2022.9）
Which season do you like?
Before I moving to England, autumn is just a season disappear among 4 seasons. The longer I live here, I adore more of Autumn. Driving on the road while checking the changing colors on both roadsides, waking up and seeing the sunlight stretching out among the fog, feeling the breeze bringing freshness on my skin. Everything is so beautiful. Furthermore, a lot of fun. Picking up chestnuts is one of the great activity in the autumn.
Chestnuts are mature when they fall naturally from the tree. They ripen in September and October over a period of about two to four weeks. Autumn is a perfect season for hiking, enjoying the season changing, also collecting chestnuts.
Two years ago, I found there are many chestnuts trees in Ampthill park, it is located in Ampthill, Bedfordshire, England. The park has designated walking trails, woodland, rolling hills, a cafe, formal play areas with swings and slides, and is home to Ampthill Town football and cricket clubs. Therefore, it will be a bit struggling to find a space in the parking lot.
♥️ This is a calm video of Autumn, just to remember how beautiful Autumn is ♥️

A Tour Around the Streets of Ampthill 1983 - From Sidney Road to Hazelwood Lane
A video that was shot during August 1983. This was shot as my late father, John Smith, drove me round the streets of Ampthill. In this footage we start from my home in Sidney Road and then travel up to the Town Centre via Flitwick Road and Dunstable Street, then up Bedford Street via Ampthill Hill to Hazelwood Lane. In the case of Bedford Street you will note Budgens Supermarket that has since been demolished to make way for the redevelopment of that part of town, to be replaced with the Waitrose Store.
