INTRODUCTION
My wife and I were looking to do something special for our fifth wedding anniversary and decided that we fancied a dinner and room package somewhere fairly close to home. We had never left our toddler daughter overnight before, so we needed somewhere within short driving distance from the in-laws, just in case there were any problems whilst baby-sitting.

A little history
Situated in Anglia and one hour north of London, Bedford is a cosmopolitan town with a population just in excess of 80,000. First recorded in Norman Times, it has increased in size through the centuries for several reasons but most notably due to the River Ouse which dissects the town, its relative proximity to the capital and, in the twentieth century, the establishment of brickworks which, now almost obsolete, were once the second largest in the world.
Famous sons and daughters
There a few Bedfordians who have made their name on a greater stage. In earlier times, these included men such as John Bunyan (author of the 'Pilgrim's Progress') and John Howard (an advocate of prison reform). More recently, the likes ...
