Description Incorrect Description? Tell Us!Sandy is a small market town in northern Bedfordshire, England.

The town is located between Cambridge and Bedford, and on the A1 road from London to Edinburgh. The area is dominated by a range of hills known as the Sand Hills, and is mentioned in the Domesday Book, where it is referred to as "Sandeia" (Sandeia: Eudo FitzHubert. 2 mills). This is a derivation from the Old English "Sandieg", meaning a sand-island. The River Ivel runs through Sandy.

Sandy was originally a Roman settlement and was probably an important trading centre and staging post in the Roman era. An ancient hill fort, now heavily wooded and known as Caesar's Camp, still overlooks the town. The dedication of the church is to St. Swithun.

Sandy is probably best known today as the headquarters of the RSPB. The Society moved to The Lodge, on the outskirts of the town in 1961. The Shuttleworth Collection is also nearby, around 2 miles south west of Sandy.
