Quality of Life is notoriously subjective, but the Bedford area has the right mix of facilities, prosperity and environmental advantages to ensure a high ranking when compared to other competing locations. A recent HBOS Quality of Life Survey ranked both Mid-Bedfordshire and Bedford as being among the best locations for a range of factors, ranking the area significantly higher than Cambridge, Northampton, Milton Keynes, Watford and Peterborough.
Over the next few years, Bedford will be an exciting place to be. New homes, new roads, improved public transport and a fantastic new town centre will pave the way to Bedford reclaiming its role as the county town and be the destination of choice for residents, visitors and workers!
But when it's time to relax, Bedford is the place to be. How about strolling or cycling along the Embankment of the River Great Ouse, one of the finest riverside settings in England?
Whichever way you choose to unwind, Bedford's choice of attractions, leisure activities and shopping facilities are sure to meet with your approval. Whether you are seeking family entertainment, teenager amusement, or an excellent nightlife, Bedford knows how to have fun.
