Things to do around Bedfordshire
Bedfordshire, a county in Eastern England, offers a mix of cultural, natural, and family-friendly activities for a memorable day out. Whether you're a local or a visitor, there's something to suit every taste. Let's explore some of the best things to do in Bedfordshire:
1. Walk through Greensand Country:
- Greensand Country is a long stretch of gorgeous grasslands in the countryside, perfect for a nature walk or horse ride. It extends from Cambridgeshire in the East to Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire in the West. Explore historic manor houses, including Woburn Abbey and Wrest Park, amidst stunning scenery. CountryFile often films here, making it a great opportunity to learn about England's culture and heritage.
2. Visit ZSL Whipsnade Zoo:

5. Discover Shuttleworth Collection:
- Aviation enthusiasts will appreciate the Shuttleworth Collection in Old Warden. Explore vintage aircraft, classic cars, and motorcycles. The Swiss Garden nearby is also worth a visit.
