The Forest Centre & Millennium Country Park Bedford, Marston Moretaine

Reviews

   I highly recommend this park for a day out with the family. It's a wonderful spot for a leisurely walk, with paved paths that loop around a scenic lake. A big plus is the beautiful on-site café, which offers both indoor seating and a spacious outdoor terrace. Best of all, the terrace overlooks a children's playground, so parents can relax and enjoy a coffee while the kids play.

   Good small play area. Plenty of tables for picnicing. Well stocked Cafe. Big queues for coffee. You can pay for ice creams at reception, good job otherwise they’d melt before you get to the tills. They’ve got bike hire there, so will be good back to do that. You have to pay for the car park, but not overpriced.

   We used the marston vale forest centre for our wedding venue. It was the perfect setting with lovely rooms for the ceremony, brilliant views and perfect areas for photographs. Helen (manager) was excellent, she made the whole experience a perfect dream and took loads of pressure off of us by managinging the whole day from DJ’s to food, seating the guests, and sorting the little things like table decorations. We obviously had some things to do, but was prompted at the things we needed which was a massive help. Helen made the day run like clockwork and we are so grateful we chose this venue and had Helen to guide us along this journey. We looked at some lovely Manor House’s as venues, which also come with hefty prices. The forest centre was so much more competitive in pricing and at a dream of a venue. We would really recommend this this to anyone who asked about getting married, and if you have Helen and her wonderful team to steer you day you will have the bestest day like we did. Thank you Helen and the team Regards. Barry and Stef

   This place is such a wonderful spot to explore, whether you're with kids or just enjoying some time to yourself! The café is amazing, offering a tasty variety of food and drinks that you won’t want to miss. I’m excited to keep coming back for more events with my daughter! I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone!

   This is a great place for a walk, and really great if you have kids that like to run around a lot and like wind turbines. Parking is reasonably priced, but not free. The visitor's centre is a beautiful building which has information, a shop, and a cafe inside. Dogs are welcome in the cafe. Outside of that is a playground area with swings, slides, and a good network of ropes as a climbing frame.

   We visit this free park/walk about once a month. They often have events and children's activities on but the walk around the lake is in itself already very pleasant. Add on to that a secret garden, all the wildlife, ample paid parking, a playground out the back of a very nice café/information centre and a bird sanctuary (that you do pay for but it's worth it), it's really one of our favourite places to hang out.

   Decent variety of food, hot & cold plus a mini bar and kids box selection. Not too dear, chicken wrap & chips £6.70 Very big indoor café & benches outdoor too - right next to a children’s play area with climbing frame etc. There’s also a gift shop & ice cream freezer. The walks around the lakes are nice but you can’t actually see the water which is a real shame, it’s fenced off which probably makes it safer but you can only see the wooden fence & reeds. Still a nice walk & some nice woodland though! Car park £2 for 3 hours.

   Love it here, you get a decent walk, benches to have a picnic, park for the kids. It has decent car park with EV charging point and a place to stop and have a coffee too! Worth wearing decent footwear/wellies if it has been wet!

   Arrived about 11:00 am plenty of car parking. Walked from Forest centre to the view point at foot of wind turbine. Beautiful view of the lake from there we followed the lakeside pathway and found a nice secluded spot by the waters edge. Had a lovely picnic spent an hour or so reading a book and admiring the view. Strolled back to the forest centre and finished the day with a cream tea for two. Great day out thoroughly enjoyed it. Left around 15:00.
