レイヴンズデンでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

This pyramid is in BEDFORD. It is the Oasis Pool. Please edit the Milton Keynes reference.

Great place along the river for coffee and cake. Although off the main road, this cafe is on NCN Route 51 which is smooth tarmac route along the Ouse. Benefits from seating outside the cafe so that bike doesn't have to be locked up, reducing the faff time.

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

Great waterside riding through the park on Route 51 or using the cycle friendly paths and trails around Priory.

Great coffee and cycle snacks, the Longholme café is my favourite stop along the river. Still running takeaway from cafe entrance so no need to lock up the bike, reducing faff. A few wooden reels to sit under the trees and enjoy your treat.

Good New Yorker Pastrami sandwich to take away!

Priory Country Park is at the western end of the Bedford River Valley Park, which covers 3.5 square miles (5.6 km) from Bedford to Willington. The Valley Park comprises Priory Country Park, the Grange Estate and the intervening riverside. Priory Country Park is characterised by its large lakes, which are popular fishing and watersports venues. For walkers, there are trails, a visitor centre, cafe and toilets.

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.
