Things to Do in Luton
Luton is better known for its airport than its parks, but it has green space close to the centre and the Chiltern Hills on its doorstep. Here is where to start.
Wardown Park for a lake and a museum
Wardown Park is Luton's central park, with a lake, formal gardens and a historic house. It is a short walk from the town centre, easy to find and busy enough on a dry day to feel comfortable.

Stockwood Park for open grass and paths
Stockwood Park is larger and quieter, on the south side of town, with wide paths and a more open feel. It suits a longer walk with room to talk.

Dunstable Downs for the Chilterns
A short drive or bus ride away, Dunstable Downs is a high chalk ridge with long views over Bedfordshire. It is windy and exposed, but it is the most dramatic landscape within easy reach of Luton.

Getting around and what to expect
Luton's parks are close to the centre, but the Downs need a car or a bus, so decide the plan before you set out. The town is busy on match days and around the airport peaks, and the weather on the ridge is cooler than in the town.

How TheDirectory fits into this
A walk in a public park suits a first meeting well, and it still helps to know who you are meeting. Identity on TheDirectory is checked against a government issued document by a person, and every photograph is reviewed by a person before it is published.
