The village of Southill is situated on the River Ivel some 5 miles from Biggleswade. Several fine thatched cottages grace the village, though most date from the 18th and 19th centuries.
Southill Park is a Regency mansion set in 800 acres, including landscaped grounds by Capability Brown. The house has been home to the Whitbread family of brewing fame for the last 200 years.
All Saints church at Southill is largely a 19th century creation building on earlier 14th and 15th century foundations. In the church is the tomb of Admiral Sir John Byng, who was blamed for the loss of Minorca to the French in 1757 and was punished by being executed on the deck of his own ship.
