Bedford is the county town of Bedfordshire. This pleasant riverside town, situated near to London, Oxford and Cambridge, has many places to see and is ideally located for history, leisure, the arts, culture and quiet unspoilt countryside.
Bedford and Kempston make up the urban centre of the district - a centre noted for its excellent shops, wide range of high quality housing, first class educational facilities and unrivalled recreational amenities.
The River Great Ouse is a central and attractive feature of the town. Within the district and surrounding the urban area are numerous villages in pleasant rural settings.
Today, Bedford is a lively town with plenty of opportunities and a cultural diversity suiting many tastes.
Two museums in Bedford tell the story of the Borough and of the men of faith and imagination who lived here. Perhaps the best known of these is John Bunyan who was born a few miles away at Elstow. He wrote his famous book, The Pilgrim's Progress, while imprisoned in the County Gaol for refusing to recognise the Established Church; to this day, nonconformist chapels, some dating back to Bunyan's time, are much in evidence in towns and villages all over the area.
