About Bedford

Known for

John Bunyan's hometown (Pilgrim's Progress written here in Bedford Jail), the Embankment on the Great Ouse, the Italian community (one of England's most established), and the county town of Bedfordshire

A little history

John Bunyan wrote The Pilgrim's Progress in Bedford Jail between 1660-72 — one of the most widely published books in history. The town has a large Italian community descended from WWII prisoners of war who chose to stay. The Great Ouse Embankment is one of England's finest riverside walks.

Local tip

The John Bunyan Museum is excellent and free. The Embankment along the Great Ouse is outstanding — one of England's best town riverside walks. The Italian restaurants around the town centre are genuinely excellent.
