St Lawrence's Church, Willington

Highlight • Religious Site

"The church of St Lawrence in Willington is situated to the west of the village, close by the National Trust properties of the Willington Dovecote and Stables. Limited parking is available by the roadside outside the church or in the Dovecote car park."

It's a very nice place. I enjoyed relaxing and taking a portion of peace of mind.

The Grange Estate Trails

Highlight • Trail

At the eastern end of the Bedford River Park is the 297-acre (120 ha) Grange Estate. Situated on the River Great Ouse's floodplain, there are many pleasant trails by little lakes and along brooks. It’s a great place to spot kingfishers.

South east of the estate is the village of Willington, where you find Danish Camp, one of the few remaining water-filled moats left from the Viking Age. Today, there's an adjacent restaurant in a Norwegian log cabin. This characterful eatery is a great place to relax after a walk in the Bedford River Valley Park.

Danish Camp Riverside Visitor Centre

Highlight • Cycleway

The path here is great for riding but many walkers and dog walkers. The Danish Camp was shut down due to Covid when I went through last time but looking forward to going back again when it is back up and running again.
