Bedford in General Reviews

Bedford is a much underrated town! At it's heart lays the beautiful Victorian embankment, adjacent to which lies Russell Park. Further down the river, you'll find the stunning Priory Country Park, acres and acres of meadows, lakes and woodland, just a mile and a half from the town center and fully open to the public free of charge, year round. ...  Read the complete review

I live in Bedford and have done my whole life apart from a few years in Birmingham when my parents divorced and my mum moved away. I was born here and am a Bedfordian. Bedford is approximately 50 miles north of London which is one of the things I do really like about the town, you can hop on a fast train and be there in 45 ...  Read the complete review

Bedford hit the National headlines recently, with that horrific photograph of the bodies in the Hospital Chapel. The story ran all week and the Spotlight was most definitely turned on the historic County Town – for all the wrong reasons. But Bedford isn’t all bad – honest! It has become and extremely ...  Read the complete review

I live in the county of Bedfordshire & although not in the county town of Bedford itself I occasionally visit. My main gripe with Bedford is that it needs to clean up its act. As it is the county town I think it has somewhat of a reputation to uphold and quite frankly, it is not doing that. There are nice parts to visit in the town, but there ...  Read the complete review
