Old Warden

This is a beautiful 'Swiss Village' and Old Warden Park is the home of the Swiss Gardens, an ornamental garden which was build in 19th century and is one of the top ten gardens in the country. It has a thatched Indian kiosk, thatched tree shelter, the grotto and peacocks roam the woods and grassy areas. This is a delightful setting for a magical wedding.

For aircraft enthusiasts, Shuttleworth at old Warden has a fascinating collection, nearby are the Cardington Hangers which is home of the R101 barage balloon used during the war. Duxford, near Cambridge is another haven for aircraft enthusiasts and is within easy travelling distance.

With its gently rolling landscape this is a good area for cycling, and numerous cycling trails will be found especially in mid-Bedfordshire around Woburn, Ampthill and Old Warden

The Greensands Ridge walk takes a high route along the ridge of Greensands which crosses the centre of Bedfordshire and continues both to the East and West.
You can follow this route from Woburn past Ampthill, Old Warden to Sandy.
