MARSTON MORETAINE

Ampthill 6.3 miles; Milton Keynes 13.5 miles; Woburn 18.6 miles.

Marston Moretaine is a picturesque countryside village resting between Bedford and Milton Keynes. The village is known for its 14th-century St Mary’s Church with a rare detached bell tower, and for being the home of Captain Sir Tom Moore, whose remarkable fundraising efforts during the 2020 pandemic brought national recognition. The village offers a selection of attractions, most notably the Forest Centre and Millennium Country Park, a sprawling nature reserve with lakeside trails, bird hides, and woodlands reclaimed from former clay pits. It’s a popular spot for walkers, cyclists, and families seeking fresh air and open space. Dining options include The Bell, a welcoming pub with traditional fare, and Lounge India, a well-regarded restaurant serving Indian and Bangladeshi cuisine. Essentials are easily found at the two Co-op stores within the village. Just a short drive away, the market town of Ampthill offers additional charm with Ampthill Park, a historic landscape with sweeping views and links to Capability Brown, and the Ampthill Antiques Emporium, a favourite for vintage finds and curiosities. To the south, Woburn draws visitors with its stately Abbey and Gardens, and the nearby Safari Park, where you can spot exotic wildlife from the comfort of your car. To the west, Milton Keynes provides a vibrant contrast with its modern architecture and cultural venues. Highlights include Bletchley Park, the historic centre of wartime codebreaking; Xscape, an indoor adventure hub offering skiing, climbing, and cinema; and a network of green spaces and lakes that make the city surprisingly rich in outdoor activities.
