Hi there,got to go to there, wondering if it's worth taking the van and having a few days away. Any recommendations for things to see around there at beginning of March. Thanks in advance

Bletchley Park https://bletchleypark.org.uk/

Some nice villages and countryside in Northamptonshire
Don't know it sufficiently well to recommend anywhere but I'm sure you'd find it worth a few days

I live in Mid Bedfordshire but am an MK postcode. Recommendations are based on a tad more information of what you’re into? Walking, cycling, history, churches, chillin, fine dining etc etc

MK is not short of cycle routes , Redways designed to avoid traffic conflict

Sadly not - just a few in the field down the road from us but even those are fakes.

Cycling in MK is great - the 'redways' thread all across MK.

A few nice market towns worth a visit.

Olney - a few miles outside has the cooper and newton museum - home of Amazing Grace.

Stony Stratford - home of the 'cock and bull' story. Nice pubs and restaurants, lovely walks along the river.

Ouse valley park in the north - lovely walking.

Grand union canal runs the length of MK.

Lots of parkland and lakes.

Indoor sky diving

Indoor Skiing/Snow boarding.

As said earlier - loads to see/do depends what you are after.
