Bedfordshire is England’s smallest county located in the eastern part of the UK, offering gently rolling countryside peppered with woodland, heath and parkland and the riverside county town of Bedford . Running between and around the towns and villages is an expanse of wide open countryside, traversed with a network of footpaths and bridleways – ideal for those who enjoy time out in the great outdoors, or take pleasure in one of the many typical county pursuits including fishing, walking, cycling, riding, touring and golf.
