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. The village enjoys a prime location on the edge of the Harrold-Odell Country Park, which comprises two large lakes, parkland and water meadows. The village is notable for its ancient bridge, which spans the river and connects to an equally ancient causeway to the village of Carlton.

Emberton Country Park is blessed with 200 acres (81 ha) of peaceful parkland and shimmering lakes. Beloved by walkers and cyclists alike, there are a number of circular trails on offer. The park also has children's play areas, picnic spots and plenty of places where you can feed the ducks.

The lakes at Castle Ashby Fishery look very inviting on a hot summers day, there is a small lodge between the two largest lakes that provide a selection of drinks and hot and cold snacks. For more information go to: https://www.castleashbyfishery.co.uk/
