The town has a long history, and is believed to have been inhabited since 10,000BC! Today it’s a charming spot with several sports clubs, schools and parks.Attractions in Biggleswade include the Swiss Garden, a short 6-minute drive across the River Ivel. It’s a calm open park with 13 listed structures, a woodland sculpture trail and is even home to three resident peacocks! In spring, you can see ducklings swimming in the ponds and there are often seasonal family, music and community events.
Nearby is also the Shuttlesworth Collection of vintage aeroplanes, an aeronautical and automotive museum 2.6 miles away from the McCarthy & Stone development. The museum is actually one of the most prestigious in the world and boasts an impressive collection of historical aircraft and vintage cars. Here, you can see five Edwardian aeroplanes, including the oldest British aeroplane still in flying condition." Show less
