Cople
Cople is situated around 4 miles east of the County town of Bedford, in
Bedfordshire, England, 50 miles (80 Kms) north of London.
We are 7 miles from the A1 (the Great North Road) which offers direct routes
to London and Scotland. The M1 is 15 miles to the west.
The Great River Ouse is 1.5 miles away.
The village has a population of around 800 people, there is one pub, one
church, one primary school (ages 4 to 9) and one garage which no longer
sells petrol. The only village shop closed in 1995, but there is a shop in
the near by village of Willington and a major supermarket 3 miles away.
Cople has traditionally been a farming community but farming no longer
offers work to many people. Most inhabitants work in offices and factories
in nearby towns including Bedford, Sandy, Luton and Milton Keynes.
