A "Green Flag" Country Park managed by Bedfordshire Borough Council. It sits in a large meander on the River Great Ouse and is made up of meadows, lakes (Priory Lake & Finger Lakes), reed beds and woodland. A nice spot for a relaxing ride and just off the disused east-west running railway line between Bedford and Sandy.

Cycling's not permitted in some parts of the country park, so be mindful of others.
