Sandy is one of the fastest growing towns in Bedfordshire owing to its rural lifestyle and the fact that London is only 45 minutes' by train. It is also close to major centres of employment such as Peterborough, Stevenage, Hitchin, Bedford and Cambridge. Sandy 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, a derivation from the Old English 'Sandieg', which means sand-island.
