Luton
Situated in Bedfordshire and home to one of London’s airports, Luton hosts Britain’s largest one day carnival, which annually attracts around 150000 revellers. Famous for millinery and lace-making in Victorian times, the city’s museum in Wardown Park contains evidence of these crafts as well as toys and natural history exhibits. Wardown Park also contains a large boating lake and other amenities. A ‘hands-on’ approach to nature can be enjoyed at Woodside Animal Farm and Leisure Park and the John Dony Field Centre, an establishment dedicated to environmental education.
