Priory Country Park, Public park in Bedford, England
The 360-acre natural area contains lakes, meadows, woodlands, and reed beds within a curve of the River Great Ouse.
The local government established this recreational space in 1986 as part of Bedford's expansion of public green areas.
The park supports environmental education through guided nature walks and seasonal programs focused on local wildlife identification.
Visitors can access multiple facilities including parking areas, restrooms, walking trails, fishing spots, and a café serving homemade food.
Three marked trails wind through different ecosystems, leading to bird observation points and water sports areas on Priory Lake.
