Information about BEDFORD The historic county town of Bedford is a lively market town on the banks of the River Great Ouse, centrally located between London, Oxford and Cambridge. The River must certainly be described as the Jewel in the Crown and was the generator of Bedfords expansion into a thriving town. It supplied the power to grind corn at the large mills and it also provided invaluable trade links as barges could navigate from The Wash on the North Seas, right the way through to Bedford�s Town Centre. The green areas surrounding the river are now being used for a burgeoning festival season of culture. The Cecil Higgins Art Gallery has a truly international collection including works by Turner, Moore, Picasso, Warhol and much more. Exhibitions from the Collection as well as touring works from National Museums are regular attractions. Moot hall is a wonderfully preserved example of a Tudor timber-framed market house dating back to the 16th century.
