Welcome to Park Town

Park Town is a small village located in the county of Bedfordshire, England. It is situated on the outskirts of the town of Luton and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village is known for its peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, making it an ideal place for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

One of the main attractions of Park Town is its beautiful park, which is located in the heart of the village. The park is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike, and it offers a range of activities for people of all ages. There are plenty of walking trails, picnic areas, and playgrounds for children to enjoy. The park is also home to a variety of wildlife, including birds, squirrels, and rabbits.

In addition to its park, Park Town is also home to a number of historic buildings and landmarks. One of the most notable is the village church, which dates back to the 12th century. The church is a beautiful example of Norman architecture and is well worth a visit for anyone interested in history or architecture. Other notable landmarks in the village include the old village hall and the local pub, both of which have been serving the community for many years.
