The Embankment and Mill Meadows
The Embankment and Mill Meadows are frequently referred to as
the Jewel in Bedford's Crown. The river was artificially widened by
the Victorians and spanned by the ornate Suspension Bridge,
opened in 1888. They created an inland promenade along which
modern Bedfordians and visitors alike still love to amble, taking
in the riverside views and the dazzling bedding displays of
the Embankment Gardens.
