The Heritage Centre shares the 1846 Victorian former station building with the Ridgmont Station Tea Room (a separate business). The Heritage Centre is run by volunteers and provides a gift shop and a small but growing collection of railway-related artifacts in the restored former booking office. We tell the story of the Marston Vale line between Bedford and Bletchley, as well as future proposals for the East-West rail project of which the line is part and also the proposed Bedford-Milton Keynes Canal/waterpark project (which will pass nearby). The Heritage Centre is currently usually open Thursday - Saturday, although we can also open for pre-arranged group visits at other times (please email for details). The Tea Room complements the Heritage Centre but is currently open for advance booking only. Please phone ahead to make sure we are open before travelling.

We love following random brown signs and this one lead us to these really interesting ruins. Free to roam around with great interpretive information boards and views to match. Great for a short pitstop or simply to kill some time

Located on the edge of the town centre in Dame Alice Street is the row of Dame Alice Almshouses. In the past Almshouses were the first type of social housing for the poor. I am not sure if these houses are still used for this. I hope so. It is impressive to see a row of about 20 houses together. Worth looking for if you are into that sort of thing.

The statue of John Bunyan is at the end of the High Street at the junction with Dame Alice Street and it's worth checking out if you are investigating the history of Bedford and it's most famous author.

great place to visit for all ages with pathed routes and muddy trails. Really good place to take the dog for a walk away from roads.
