The park covers sixty-one square miles of Bedfordshire and encompasses beautiful woodlands, wetlands and open spaces. The whole family can enjoy the lakes, walks and activities on offer. In the centre is the cafe with informative displays and a small shop with facilities.

Much of the land here used to be old clay pits or landfill sites and these are being reclaimed by nature with tree-planting and landscaping activities.
