Great Barford-Bedford walk..& shopping! (Sun 27-10-13)
Enjoy this leisurely walk along the River Great Ouse from the village of Great Barford (famous for its medieval bridge) to Goldington Road, Bedford.
Along the way we will stop for lunch at the Danish Camp – described as Bedfordshire’s best kept secret,
followed by a look at the historical Willington Dovecote and stables managed by the National Trust. The walk will finish at the Go Outdoors store in Bedford for some afternoon shopping. Perfect if you like to try on some new hiking boots or waterproof clothing.
