It is practically impossible to describe Elstow without making reference to the village being the birthplace of John Bunyan. Found on the southern edge of Bedford, the village has plenty to offer with a primary school, active cricket club, traditional village pub plus a regionally renowned restaurant - St. Helenas.

In terms of accessibility, the village sits inside the southern bypass of Bedford which gives excellent road links to the M1 (J13), A1 and A6. A frequent rail service runs from Bedford to London St. Pancras.
