We’ve nearly seen winter off for another year and thoughts can soon turn to sunshine, longer days and maybe even getting our shorts on.
It’s a great chance to also dust off the cobwebs and get out an about in our beautiful part of the world.
Really, we’re super lucky with our area having so much beauty, wonderful scenery and some great walking trails to follow.
Here we bring you some great ideas for what to do this spring as we swap the umbrella and coats for suncream and shades.
Let us know your favourite walks and beauty spots and why via our social media channels.

2. Aspley Heath Wood
Aspley Woods is approximately 326ha of mainly conifer plantation woodland with some areas of semi-ancient natural woodland, that lies between Woburn Sands, Bow Brickhill and Aspley Guise. It's a great place to discover nature and enjoy the outdoors with over 400 acres of woodland, heathland and meadows to enjoy - a fabulous site for walking and cycling. Photo: Facebook
3. Ouse Valley and Floodplain Forest Nature Reserve
This is a very popular area for birding, camping, and hiking, so you'll likely encounter other people while exploring. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime. This beautiful reserve was opened in 2016 and is used as an overflow for the River Ouse in times of high rainfall. Photo: Facebook
4. Bletchley Park
Here you can discover the incredible achievements of Britain's World War Two Codebreakers, in the place where it happened and the impact Bletchley had on the plans for D-Day. Once top secret, now Bletchley Park is a vibrant heritage attraction bringing in history lovers from far and wide. Photo: Getty Images
