Days Out

Mid Bedfordshire has many special places to visit, suitable for all ages and interests. It is noted for its many unique and unusual attractions.

To start, view or download the latest design of the Mid Beds Scenic Route Leaflet.

For garden lovers a visit to the Swiss Gardens and Wrest Park are a must.

For a special touch of nostalgia look no further than our two vintage transport Museums - the Shuttleworth Collection and Stondon Motor Museum.

Through the historic properties of Woburn Abbey, Chicksand Priory and churches our history and heritage can be relived.

And for a close encounter of a different kind, you can experience the call of the wild at Woburn Safari Park, English School of Falconry and our nature reserves with sightings of the most gracious birds and beasts known to man.
