The historic county town of Bedford was founded on a ford on the River Great Ouse and has long been a thriving market town. It was once host to a large medieval castle, built by Henry I. Only the motte is evident today, after Henry III besieged the castle in 1224 and ordered its destruction once the conflict was won.

It is an important stop over on the Ouse Valley Way, a long-distance trail that follows the river from source to sea. There are a number of places to eat and drink in the town and no shortage of accommodation either.
