Things to do around Bedfordshire
Bedfordshire, a county in Eastern England, offers a mix of cultural, natural, and family-friendly activities for a memorable day out. Whether you're a local or a visitor, there's something to suit every taste. Let's explore some of the best things to do in Bedfordshire:
1. Walk through Greensand Country:
- Greensand Country is a long stretch of gorgeous grasslands in the countryside, perfect for a nature walk or horse ride. It extends from Cambridgeshire in the East to Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire in the West. Explore historic manor houses, including Woburn Abbey and Wrest Park, amidst stunning scenery. CountryFile often films here, making it a great opportunity to learn about England's culture and heritage.
2. Visit ZSL Whipsnade Zoo:
- If you prefer wildlife encounters, head to ZSL Whipsnade Zoo, the largest zoo in the United Kingdom. With over 3,000 animals across 600 acres in the Chiltern Hills, it's a wonderful day out for visitors of all ages. Keep an eye on special events to enhance your experience.
3. Learn the history of Bromham Mill and Gallery:
- Dive into the cultural history of Bedfordshire at Bromham Mill and Gallery. Witness demonstrations of traditional baking and milling techniques. Located west of Bedford, it's a fascinating way to spend a few hours and learn about the county's past.
4. Explore Woburn Safari Park:
- For a wild adventure, visit Woburn Safari Park. Encounter animals like zebras, lions, and penguins as you drive through the 360-acre park. It's an immersive experience for the whole family.
5. Discover Shuttleworth Collection:
- Aviation enthusiasts will appreciate the Shuttleworth Collection in Old Warden. Explore vintage aircraft, classic cars, and motorcycles. The Swiss Garden nearby is also worth a visit.
6. Enjoy Wrest Park:
- Wrest Park is a magnificent English Heritage property with formal gardens, woodlands, and a grand mansion. Take a leisurely stroll, admire the French-style parterre, and explore the historic interiors³.
7. Visit Bedford Castle Mound:
- Explore the remnants of Bedford Castle Mound, a medieval motte-and-bailey castle. Climb to the top for views of the town and River Great Ouse.
8. Experience Bedford River Festival:
- If you're visiting during the festival season, don't miss the Bedford River Festival. Enjoy live music, boat races, and a vibrant atmosphere along the riverbanks.
9. Explore Priory Country Park:
- Priory Country Park in Bedford offers lakes, woodlands, and walking trails. It's a peaceful escape for nature lovers.
10. Learn at The Higgins Bedford:
