Description
The village of Great Barford is situated on the river Ouse to the east of Bedford in rural Bedfordshire, England.
Mentioned in the Doomsday book, Great Barford was an important site, probably as a means of crossing the river, the area of the original ford was dug up in 1973 and a bridge has been here since at least the 15th century. Today the bridge, with its seventeen arches, spans the Ouse and acts as a gateway to this lovely village.
Once over the bridge, visitors are greeted by Great Barford’s All Saints Church with its 15th century tower, and one of the village’s three pubs, The Anchor.
