Things to Do Locally
Whether you’re looking for history, countryside adventures, relaxation or great places to eat and drink, there’s something for everyone just a short drive away.
Local Attractions
Discover world-class aviation at the Shuttleworth Collection, explore historic aircraft at Imperial War Museum Duxford, or step back into WWII codebreaking history at Bletchley Park.
The beautiful university city of Cambridge is also within easy reach, perfect for punting, shopping, museums and riverside dining.
Walking & Cycling
Beautiful countryside walks begin straight from the doorstep. Choose from shorter scenic routes or full-day hikes - all off-road - taking you through open farmland and along the tranquil River Ivel and River Ouse.
Cyclists can join Route 51 at nearby Blunham for peaceful country riding. The popular Kingfisher Way, starting near Baldock and finishing in Tempsford, is a favourite with walkers and runners alike. End your walk with a well-earned drink at The Wheatsheaf just up the lane from The Barn.
Water & Outdoor Activities
Being close to the river means you can enjoy paddle boarding in Bedford or take relaxing boat trips from Danish Camp.
For something a little different, Waresley Park Estate offers cold water swimming, yoga, lakeside sauna experiences and a vibrant summer amphitheatre programme.
