Ampthill, Market town and civil parish in Central Bedfordshire, England.
Located between Bedford and Luton, Ampthill extends along the Greensand Ridge with Georgian architecture and thatched cottages throughout its streets.
The town received its market charter from King Henry III in 1219, marking the beginning of an 800-year tradition that continues in the present day.
The weekly market, operating since medieval times, brings together local producers, craftspeople, and residents every Thursday in the town center.
Ampthill functions as a commercial center for surrounding villages, offering independent shops, restaurants, and essential services to residents and visitors.
St Andrew's Church contains a memorial to Richard Nicolls, the first English governor of New Amsterdam, who originated from this Bedfordshire town.
