Bedford's River Great Ouse offers a famous promenade which gives a wealth of town and country scenes. It is accessible in places even to wheelchairs and could be walked in any weather and even at night. This gives you the whole route but it could be cut into easier half-hour or hour sections.
The walk takes you from busy spots with walkers, rowers and cyclists chasing them, to pockets of calm and quiet where birds nest and swans swim smoothly and quietly. The walk is always refreshing, varied and never dull and is an easy stroll with hardly any navigational effort.
There are pubs and restaurants beside the river to stop and watch the activities and the walk could be cut short at a number of bridges. The walk features some fine country scenes near the Priory Country Park, has immaculate gardens and fine water meadowland in areas, as well as being the hub and integral part of North Bedfordshire country life and livelihood.
