TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"I think Denmark Hill is one of the most unique stations around. The former ticket hall now houses The Phoenix pub, a perfect waiting room where you can grab a pint and a filling meal. Another quirk that’s easy to miss is the small vineyard metres from platform 4’s tracks. Around 20 Bacchus grapevines are on the slopes above the station."

TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"Visiting Bedford: The River Great Ouse is the easiest way to get your bearings in Bedford. Just follow the Embankment east and you can link the town centre with Russell Park before continuing towards Priory Country Park if you fancy a longer walk. It’s a more scenic way to see Bedford than sticking to the main roads, and most of the central attractions are only a short detour from the river if you plan your route in advance."
