Did you know, you can legally walk right through the centre of the land owned by Universal Studios in Kempston Hardwick, Bedfordshire? Take the chance now before you have to wait until 2030 (hopefully!).
Please subscribe for more Universal Studios Great Britain updates!
In late 2023 Universal Studios confirmed that it’s looking to build a theme park and Resort in the UK specifically the tiny little village of Kempston Hardwick which is along the a421 between Bedford and Milton keing the plot of land owned by Universal is this one 480 Acres of
Perfectly flat land that is part Farmland part X Brick Works site and has 100% potential sorry that was really cheesy if Universal decides to go ahead with the project it’s expected to open around 2030 which is 6 years after the release of this video here in
2024 but did you know that you don’t have to wait until then to visit the site yes despite Universal owning the land and this sign saying keep out or you might get shot it’s currently 100% legal to walk through the site and stand on the ground that might one day look a
Little bit like this and if you do that you can be just like the team from universe destinations and experiences who visited the site this week look here they are stood on a patch of mud hopefully the future sight of a Cowfish or something so how can you join them
Totally legally at least for the time being in the UK we have something called public right of way which lets you access very specific routes on land that you might not ordinarily be allowed to access usually it’s limited to walking through Farmland but in this case it’s a
Plot of land recently purchased for more than $270 million in the middle of bedfordshire these routs are called public foot paths or bridleways and they’re usually marked by signs like this one foot paths can be used for walking and running whereas bridleways can be used for walking and running as
Well as cycling and horseback riding and as it turns out a public foot path runs right through the center of the Southern plot of land owned by Universal as you can see there’s a path that runs from West to East between Wen Road and the
End of Mana Road and one that joins that footpath in the center that heads South towards the village of Stewart be so without further Ado let’s take a walk through the center of Universal Studios Great Britain and I’m sorry to do this cringy YouTuber thing but please like
And subscribe it would mean a lot thank God I’ve got my boots on oh Lordy okay right this is not going to be pretty no sodb it’s about 6ot deep let’s go this way through the trees there barb wire there right Crystal Maze puzzle traversed onto Universal Studios Great
Britain there are some deer tracks which have ended oh my God they’ve learned to fly come out into this large field however this field is not owned by Universal Studios at least yet so we’ve still got a way to go if it focuses just down there as you can see
The land apart from over there is really really flat you can just see as well a Tippy tip of a wind turbine over there apologies for the shage but let’s continue onward once again getting quite swampy oh Lord Oh Lord there we go false alarm just on the
Other side of the field as well you can see if the zoom works just about there’s Kempston Hardwick train station that is right in the center of the land that Universal owns about 2/3 of the way over now and we’ve come to a bridge with a not sure
It’s quite a stream or Brook perhaps but we’re getting there can just about see the railway ahead nearly there got a bright yellow lanch on here trying to do this onehanded not easy and here’s where it gets a little dicey because as you can see stop look
Listen beware of trains this is a legit place to cross but if you do fancy coming and taking a look at the site for yourself I would maybe recommend not especially if you got the little ones because you do have to cross a railway line and trains do come by on this
Railway line not loads but enough that you definitely need to be aware the station’s just there you can see the road in the distance as well so we’re all clear to cross there is a safe place to do so it still feels naughty though but what this does mean now that we’re safely
Across is so we have one more Thorn covered gate to go and my feet are now on on land owned by Universal Studios so there we go this is the potential site for a theme park thought to be opening in 2030 nice and flat nothing really going
On and there are a few houses there which I believe is stward be if I’ve got my bearings right but the public foot path continues what is that over there there is a pile of fresh looking sandard construction has begun and there’s a person there oh my God they work for
Comcast guys it’s all happening this feels really really naughty now because usually with a a public foot path there would be a very obvious spot but this field has very clearly been plowed or farmed or whatever you do to a a big patch of farmland and it’s not here you can
Clearly see it on Google Earth in our mate over there from Comcast he’s walking around the edge where’s he gone can’t see him he’s gone he’s vanished magic he’s from Hogwarts but we are on the path so this is legit and you can just ahead see the other public foot
Path marker so we know it’s legit it’s all good we at Universal Studios I can just see it now Jurassic world is right here we’ve got Mordor hobbiton Lord of the Rings right there I don’t know minions land or something over there something I can’t think of
Apologies for the wind it is rather windy that’s why it’s a good spot for a turbine but doing a panoramic here just just shows you how absolutely massive this plot of land is and it doesn’t even end here mean it ends here right along that that tree line is the land that
Universal owns but it even goes beyond those streets over there so absolutely massive there is so much land here for them to have fun with and you can just see in the distance Kempston Hardwick station and they own the land on the other side of the road as well so
Not only do they own this massive two 140 Acres parcel of land but they also own a similar sized amount of land on the other side of the road so very very exciting but uh it is a bit Miserable as you can see feels a bit naughty being on this Farmland
Despite being a public foot path so it’s time to head back I think get in the warm get out of the muddy mud and try and find a way to Traverse that bug at the other end of this bloody foot path there is also a public foot path
Around the edge of the northern parcel of land so it’s also worth checking out what’s on offer over there but if you’ve taken a look at the site on Google Earth you’ll see it’s rather wet So based on how tricky it was to get to the southern
Parcel of land today I think it might be worth putting off a trip a couple of hundred acres north until it gets a little bit dri let me know in the comments if you think it’s worth taking a trip until then thank you very much

am so excited for you guys over there 😀
I cant wait 👍👍👍
Sick! Love the dedication ❤
I live so close to this. There is so much land that they still purchase
You got to get a drone to document the build if and when it starts. Please stick with it. Love this content
Id definitely wait a month or two to check out the other path.
What is the weather like there? Does it snow? It’s hard to imagine the park being able to operate year round there
Cool video. I'll leave this comment for the algorithm.
I really don't like to think about the fact I'll be 43 by the time this opens 😥😂
Now I want to go to the UK 😂
This was good, really really good! Perhaps too good?
Hello future people watching this in 2030!
Thank you so much for these updates, I’m so excited for any news big or small about this 😃
Time to get my boots on and head down to Bedford only 20 minutes away from me
