Other highlights include Bedford Castle Mound, which is all that remains of the town's castle. It has been redesigned and now includes an archaeological park, a lime kiln vault and restaurants.

The Embankment is a great place to go and relax. A mile long, it runs along the banks of the river and through the town centre and is filled with pretty gardens. The town's war memorial is also located here.

Similarly, Bedford Park is the place to head when you want some time out. Dating back to the Victorian era, it has a bandstand, cricket pavilion and outdoor swimming pool.
