THINGS TO DO IN BIGGLESWADE

The charming town of Biggleswade sits on the banks of the River Ivel in Bedfordshire, surrounded by green, open countryside that is dotted with quaint villages. Home to the Ivel Agricultural Tractor – forefather to all modern tractors and, at one time, the Ivel Cycle Works, established by the famed cyclist Daniel Albone.

Take a stroll up the high street to get a feel for the town, and its agricultural heritage. Relax by the River Ivel, which from which the town’s name is derived: Biccel, an Anglo-Saxon personal name and Waed, an old English word for ford. Or just relax in one of of Biggleswade’s pubs and celebrate your unforgettable hot air balloon ride over beautiful Bedfordshire. You might even consider becoming a zookeeper for a day at the nearby Whipsnade Zoo, where you can help care for some of Bedfordshire’s more exotic residents!
