Bedford Park is also located close to the centre of town, along with Priory Country Park. 
  
  Little Paxton Pits, meanwhile, is a charming nature reserve set over almost 80 hectares just a 20-minute drive from town. Back on your doorstep you can explore the history and culture of the local area by visiting Bedford Castle, the Stockwood Discovery Centre and the Higgins Art Gallery and Museum, while the Shire Hall, Panacea Museum and John Bunyan Museum are all must-sees in the centre of town.

  Bedford Girls’ School on the south bank of the river close to the town centre is one of the very best schools in the local area. Bedford Modern School just north west of the centre is highly rated too, as well as De Parys Avenue’s Bedford School. If you’re looking for primaries, Cauldwell School on Edward Road and Great Denham Primary are among the top central options, while areas like Great Denham and Wixams also have strong local schools.
