가장 멋진 호수 5곳

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

Stunning hard packed gravel ride through the stunning Shortmead House and Gardens, lovely large pond and stunning gardens

I love Shuttleworth, for the collection of aircraft and cars but also because of its history. The Manor House, the gardens and the airfield are great and also a fantastic location. The nearby village of Old Warden is also very beautiful with a great pub.

At the eastern end of the Bedford River Park is the 297-acre (120 ha) Grange Estate. Situated on the River Great Ouse's floodplain, there are many pleasant trails by little lakes and along brooks. It’s a great place to spot kingfishers. South east of the estate is the village of Willington, where you find Danish Camp, one of the few remaining water-filled moats left from the Viking Age. Today, there's an adjacent restaurant in a Norwegian log cabin. This characterful eatery is a great place to relax after a walk in the Bedford River Valley Park.

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.

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.

Beautiful view over the lakes Good cafe with friendly staff

Lovely park and lake with plenty of tracks and routes for all abilities and bike builds.
