If you are looking for fun and adventure, look no further, there is plenty on offer in Bedfordshire to keep you amused during your stay!

Get outdoors

While you might not think it, Bedfordshire is full of fantastic countryside to explore. If you’re looking for some peaceful and gentle walking trails, cycle routes and picnic spots, you’ll be spoiled for choice! There are a wide range of rural sites across the county perfect for a family day out, romantic stroll or exciting dog walk. The rivers flowing through the area including the one at the centre of Bedford town offers some fabulous scenery and the chance to see some of the wildlife that is native to the south east of England.

There are extensive cycling trails around Bedfordshire, so bring your bike, or hire one from one of the many organisations that can be found in the rural areas and enjoy the great outdoors. For a great family day, visit the Forest of Marston Vale and explore the woodland where you can get back to nature and even enjoy a spot of lunch alfresco.

You can be in Bedfordshire in less than an hour from London, so why not escape the city and enjoy some of the neighbouring countryside?

Get active

Don’t be fooled into thinking it is all gentle and calm, there is plenty to sink your teeth into if you’re an adrenaline junky too, with wakeboarding, canoeing, paintballing and more! Bedford is home to the world’s largest indoor skydiving tunnel, and you don’t get more breath taking than that! The tunnel featured in the James Bond series, so you can really experience what it feels like to be 007 at a day out there. If indoor flying doesn’t quite do it for you, why not take on a gliding challenge at one of the Gliding Clubs that can be found in and around the Bedfordshire region, not only is it an amazing way to explore all that glorious countryside, but it is a great activity for the thrill seekers in your party.

So, whether you are in the area for a brief lay over, a weekend away or you’re looking for something to do as a team building exercise as part of a business trip or corporate event, you’ll find something to suit your needs and budget right here in Bedfordshire.

The activities don’t have to end there, you can discover your wild side by going camping or enjoying some night fishing giving you the chance to really get a glimpse of rural life.

Accessibility
