Forbidden to go wild? Not in county town (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bedford

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'county town' is the definition.
(county town of Bedfordshire)

'forbidden to go wild? not' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'to' could be 'for' and 'for' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bedford that I've seen before include "English county town" , "County town to north of London" .)
