The Forest Centre & Millennium Country Park is a charity run visitors centre in the heart of the Forest of Marston Vale, Bedfordshire. With the Lakeside Café, serving a range of hot meals, snacks and kids meals; the Gift Shop selling a range of gifts, Yankee Candles, kids' toys and ice creams; Bike Hire open all year round and an outdoor play area, the Forest Centre is perfect for a day out for all ages.

The Millennium Country Park has over 8km of surfaced tracks, perfect for exploring, or getting out and about - with cycle routes and permissive bridleways throughout. Stewartby Lake provides lovely views over towards the listed Brickworks Chimneys and Kimberley College, and the Wetlands Nature Reserve hosts a series of bird hides, along with our newly built Tower Hide, giving great views of the Pillinge Lake and other reed beds. You can spot all sorts of birds and wildlife throughout the Park, with wildlife safari boards for kids along the way.

All money spent or donated at the Forest Centre goes towards helping us to grow the Forest of Marston Vale - the community woodland we're creating in the 61 square mile area between Milton Keynes and Bedford. We have already planted over a million trees and our aim is to cover 30% of the Forest area, which is another 5 million trees - so we need your help! Come and visit us at the Forest Centre to find out more, or just have a lovely, family day out.
