Riverfield

MK41 0 / MK41 9

Family-friendly

Riverfield covers the eastern fringe of Bedford towards the river meadows and Priory Country Park. It is a quieter, more suburban part of town with a mix of housing ages. The proximity to the country park is a genuine selling point if you like being outdoors. Beyond that it does not have a strong identity that distinguishes it from neighbouring Goldington.
