Rushmere Country Park car park charges set to rise

Parking fees have remained at £2 per day at Rushmere Country Park since the park opened in 2011, with funds raised from grants to develop the facilities available to visitors, but to support the increasing cost of managing the park and its visitor centre, play areas and other facilities, local environmental charity The Greensand Trust needs to raise the charge with effect from 1 June 2017 to £3.
Play Spots

Here at Rushmere we’re big believers in the power of Natural Play and our woodland is perfect for this so we’ve developed a number of “play spots” around the site which you can discover as part of your visit. They are not part of a set trail but dotted around for you to find as you explore the site.
About the Greensand Ridge

The Greensand Ridge is a distinctive "island" of significantly wooded sands and sandstone rising prominently above the surrounding clay vales. With a toehold in both Buckinghamshire and Cambridgeshire, and stretching over 45km, the vast majority of this attractive landscape is in Bedfordshire and is home to distinctive habitats and wildlife.
