About Central Bedfordshire Council

Central Bedfordshire is diverse, with picturesque villages, hamlets and historic market towns and is a highly desirable place to visit.

There is also a wide range of pubs, cafés and restaurants to suit all tastes, and extensive parkland and open spaces such as Dunstable Downs and Marston Vale Millennium Country Park. If you’re looking for somewhere different to spend a few days break or an interesting day trip destination, look no further than the county of Bedfordshire.
