School Visits Bedfordshire

inspiration and ideas



Schools in the the English county of Bedfordshire in the East of England have access to a wealth of outdoor learning opportunities.

We have lots of ideas, whether you are in one of the main population centres like Luton, Bedford Leighton Buzzard or Dunstable, or you are a rural school out in the Chiltern Hills, or along the River Great Ouse.

Visits include plenty of historical themed days out, from far back in the Stone Age to Georgian opulence or how life was for the Victorians at one of the area's vast stately homes. If you are studying science and space, you can visit an observatory, or for field studies you can take advantage of one of the many excellent outdoor education centres in the region. There are also trips below for Citizenship, Performing Arts, Wildlife, Bushcraft and much more.

Take a look at some of the trip highlights below, or expand your search beyond Bedfordshire to other local counties in the East of England, or further afield, using the menu above.
