Great place for walking or a picnic.
Play area is great if you have children and there's a cafe in the middle of the park.

Wow!
What a beautiful place to go for a walk. Just on the edge of the town of Ampthill is Ampthill Great Park. I was not aware until my visit that it was designed in the 18th Century by Capability Brown and there are some paths to walk along as well as opportunities to go off the beaten track and explore.
I went in the winter so it was a bit muddy so be aware and wear suitable footwear. There is also a coffee shop by the car park if you want some refreshments and also a playground for children to let off some steam. There is fitness equipment if you want to do some exercising as well.

We had about four hours to spend in Ampthill waiting for some work to be completed for us. We spent them at this very pleasant Capability Brown landscaped Park. We had our small dog with us, and were pleased to find that dogs are very welcome. The area is well-provided with bins and, unusually, you can let your dog off the lead, provided it is under control and will return when called.
After a very good coffee, from the café we set off round the long trail, with the help of a map immediately provided on request by the helpful park ranger. There are some superb views to be had over the neighbouring countryside, as well as beauty in the mature trees and plants in the Park.
There are one or two steepish gradients which could be difficult for those who do not walk easily. Most of the paths are earth, though there is a lot of work being done to improve them.
On the day that we visited, there had been a lot of rain, so wellies are advisable at this time.
On our return we enjoyed a very good light lunch from the café on site.
Everything was very clean and well-cared for, including the loos which were disabled accessible. There was a good deal of work in progress around the park, so I imagine the Council is working on improving access as well.
We saw one or two people with rough terrain pushchairs and I believe you could hire a motorised scooter, but you would need to check that, if it is a requirement for you.
The only reason that I have not awarded five stars is that the parking over two sites, seems inadequate for the number of users on a Tuesday in term time, so I imagine it would be very crowded on weekends and Bank Holidays.

Very pleasant couple of hours wandering the footpaths of this park, where the trees were resplendent in their autumn colours in the bright sunshine. Great photo opportunities, birds and squirrels everywhere. Well marked paths. Couple of memorial crosses to Catherine of Aragon and to the Estate. Two free car parks and a cafe (currently take away only). A great morning out.

There is lots to do in this very busy park. I think they could improve the planting though, and parking is a bit limited.

During these uncertain times it’s nice to have a place to go to experience fresh air and have a nice time. Ampthill park does not disappoint. I have been coming here all my life and it is a really nice place to go. There are scenic views and historic houses, along with walking paths and many different types of trees and flowers. It is a great place for little ones and would highly recommend it. There is an excellent play area and tennis court, along with many trees to climb and hills to roll down. It is also great for a day out as there is a cafe which does drinks and ice cream. Overall it’s a really nice place to be and I would highly recommend it.

Ampthill Park, Ampthill, Bedford. UK
What would King Henry VIII and his estranged wife Catherine of Aragon have made of modern Bedfordshire when viewed from their castle on top of the hill back in the mid-16th century in what is now Ampthill Park? The castle has long since gone but you can sit on a bench in front of the Catherine Cross that commemorates it and take in this part of modern Britain in all its semi-industrial urgency - if no longer the original industrial/manufacturing centre that once was.
King Henry VIII would have seen the distant wind turbines, the main London to Midlands rail line, the lands that have been cleared for agricultural production, the patchwork of woodlands that remain, the last of the chimneys that once represented the brick-making heartlands of Britain, the novelty of the large number of distribution centres that have recently been built to service homes and industries alike with ‘delivery-on-time’ goods/merchandise, roads by the thousands of kilometres (and the overwhelming hum of road/rail traffic, and air traffic into Luton Airport) and, not least, the overwhelming impact of the millions of people that have formed the modern landscape.
Within the security of his deer park, King Henry VIII would have had no inkling of how the people who would follow him would change his lands. Equally, he would have neither idea of the great cities/towns that would rise to dominate the country, nor the population (England&Wales) that would multiply from estimated 3.5M in1550 to >55M - 450 years later at the turn of the millennium.
Few, including King Henry VIII, would have foreseen the impact of the industrial revolution that would gather momentum from the mid-17th century on – and change his country forever. That said, there are those who also claim this as a legacy of King Henry VIII’s time - the bridge between mediaeval England and the modern industrial state that evolved.
And what has all this got to do with Ampthill Park? Well, you get access to that 60 ha remnant of original parklands and that glimpse of the underlying English historical heritage in the panorama of the beauty of the Bedfordshire countryside - open to discovery/exploration. Start, for example, with the information board to one side of the main car park. It’s eminently readable and provides a reasonable introduction to the newcomer - describing Henry & Catherine, Lancelot Brown’s impact on the land (deer park to parklands), WWI & WW2 and local flora & fauna.
From your bench along-side that part of the 65 km Greensands Ridge Walk that crosses the park reflect upon the pleasures of watching people walking their dogs – everyone passing has a dog (sometimes two); the pleasure of the dogs too – as they pass your bench in their tens or more. Not so much a park for people but one for ‘people&dogs’ as a single unit. Reflect too on the name ‘Ampthill’ … from the Ancient Saxon when it was once called ‘Aemethyll’ (meaning ‘ant infested hill’). (We were in the park during school hours – otherwise it may have been ‘people&kids’.)
Our visit to the park represented time with friends. Without a dog between us we were able to enjoy our personal reflections on times passed when the four of us had been young couples living close by and attending a local university college just 5 km from where we were sitting. From our bench you could look out over those same areas. There would have been more chimneys in our time too.
We were fortunate with an opportunity to share - older and not much wiser - the changes to the country that were there to see and, for us, seemingly just half a lifetime ago. Imagine the impact upon King Henry VIII - the time traveller – he of the contradictory and mixed reputation that time has generally credited him.
Ampthill Park imparts this kind of wistful impression upon you - you the modern interloper/wanderer.
