Sandy Bedfordshire
Sandy is a small market town in northern BedfordshireThe town is located between Cambridge and Bedford along the route of the Great North to road London to Edenbugh The area is dominated by a range of hills known as the Sand Hills, and is mentioned in the Doomsday 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.
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.
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 Shuttlewoth collection is also nearby, around 2 miles south west of Sandy.
