Cafes and nice buildings river side. Watch out for the "Rower" on the River Ouse

Bromham Watermill is a flour mill on the River Great Ouse. Earlier mills existed on this site, but the current incarnation was built of brick, timber and stone in either the late 18th or early 19th century. Its cafe is a good place to grab a coffee before or after exploring the nearby Bromham Mill Nature Reserve.

The historic county town of Bedford was founded on a ford on the River Great Ouse and has long been a thriving market town. It was once host to a large medieval castle, built by Henry I. Only the motte is evident today, after Henry III besieged the castle in 1224 and ordered its destruction once the conflict was won. It is an important stop over on the Ouse Valley Way, a long-distance trail that follows the river from source to sea. There are a number of places to eat and drink in the town and no shortage of accommodation either.

Kempston Riverside Park follows the River Great Ouse as it meanders into central Bedford. Myriad trails explore the surrounding greenery and there are a few small lakes and ponds that offer numerous wildlife spotting opportunities. Kingfishers are a common sight along this stretch.

National Route 51, easy navigating, great scenery and loads of nice places to stop for a coffee
