With a population of around 80,000, the county town of Bedford is one of the country's fastest growing conurbations being, as it is, within easy reach of London.
This proximity to the capital means that the town has become a popular place for commuters to buy property and this has created a construction boom in Bedford in recent years.
The town's location, sat astride the River Great Ouse with carefully manicured gardens that run alongside, means that it is also a place to relax and even enjoy the sight of rowers as they glide by.
Bedford is a vibrant cosmopolitan town, and is home to one of the country's most ethnically diverse communities, with immigrants from all corners of the globe bringing their language and culture to the mix.
For the hungry visitor, the upshot of this is that virtually any kind of cuisine is available.
