Welcome to Cygnet Mews

Bedford's network of rivers made it an obvious choice for the area's first Saxon settlers and its agricultural surroundings have continued to make it a popular choice ever since. Its reputation as a market town was established as early as the Middle Ages, with the natural wonder of the River Great Ouse proving to be a vital resource for farmers and industry, and creating a central feature for the town.

Wool, lace and brick production have all played majors parts in Bedford's past, but to this day it is the town's markets that remain one of its defining features. Locally grown and reared foods can be found in abundance at the markets and have proved to be a major draw for locals, as well as those from the wider county area. The fortnightly Farmers' Market and weekly Gourmet Market are just two of the regular features of life in Bedford and promise a true feast for the senses with seasonal veg, mouth-watering meat and more exotic cuisine. Many local producers now offer veg box schemes, allowing local residents to indulge in a vibrant selection of fresh produce delivered straight to their door.

The town has many modern-day famous sons and daughters, including late comedy greats John Le Mesurier and Ronnie Barker, and sporting champions Paula Radcliffe and Stephanie Cook. John Bunyan, the writer and preacher who penned 'The Pilgrim's Progress', is the area's most well-known historical figure; he resided here in the 17th Century and is remembered through the Bunyan Museum, which retells the story of his life.

Leisure facilities

Elstow Cricket Club can be found right on the doorstep, while the Green Flag Award-winning Addison Howard Park and Kempston Swimming Pool are within easy reach and offer ample entertainment for the active. A wide variety of activities for daytime and evening can also be found in Bedford itself.

Places of Interest

With the River Great Ouse carving its way through the heart of Bedford, it's not surprising that the water's edge plays a huge part in day-to-day life in the town. In fact, the riverside is renowned for being one of England's finest and while it once allowed Bedford's industry to thrive, today it is celebrated with various sporting and cultural events; the Bedford Regatta, Britain's largest one-day boating event, and the Bedford River Festival both draw hundreds of spectators. The marina, sailing lake and rowing clubs also reflect Bedford's love of the water and the leafy riverside Embankment provides a wonderful setting for a walk whatever the season. Green spaces are a speciality of Bedford and the large number of parks have proved a big hit with children and adults alike. Culture and heritage are also big in Bedford, which has a museum and art gallery, concert hall and historical buildings.

Those seeking a varied assortment of shops will not be disappointed with the choices on offer in Bedford. The market town's three shopping centres are all home to a unique selection of stores, with high street brands, independent retailers and traditional shops catering for the wide ranging needs of its residents. The town centre markets also offer great opportunities for picking up the very best in local produce.

Over the next 15 years, Bedford is set to undergo major transformations, with big developments in the town centre, Cultural Quarter and riverside and is sure to charm many new residents.
