Nice lake that can be found in Marston Vale Millennium Country Park. There are plenty of trails around the lake to chose from, all with that great view of the lake.

There are some secluded spots, accessible via gaps in the shrubbery, great way to rest your feet or have a quick spot of lunch. Particularly peaceful on a warm sunny day.

We did the 3.63 mile loop from Harrold Odell county park. It's a fab park and route, although you'll need wellies after a wet winter! There is also a lot of farmland in the area and we heard bird scarers almost the whole way round, even walking through the village, so if you're bringing a dog with a noise aversion, you may want to keep them on the lead.

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.

Harrold is a picturesque Bedfordshire village on the banks of the River Great Ouse.
