Ampthill has excellent schools. There’s The Firs, Russell Lower Schools, Alameda Middle School, and Redborne Upper School. There’s also a number of independent schools nearby, including the renowned private Harpur Trust schools in Bedford.
Many of the shops and eateries are housed within buildings from the Tudor period, which adds to the experience and the characterful look of them. Ampthill has more independent shops than almost anywhere else in the country, making it a cool place to spend a Saturday. Ampthill Antiques Emporium houses a treasure trove of interesting finds, The Wardrobe is a lovely women’s boutique on Market Square, and there’s the independent wine shop, Cambridge Wine Merchants, which is housed in a gorgeous building that’s over 300 years old.

Ampthill is steeped in interesting history especially relating to Tudor royals. Henry VIII has very strong links with the town; Katherine of Aragon was held in Ampthill castle, and it was here, sat in The Great Dining Room, that she learned that she was to divorce Henry VIII.
