According to the BBC, Rushmere Park comprising 210 acres of verdant Bedfordshire has been bought for the public by the council and the Greensand Trust. You can see the approximate location on MultiMap, just North of Leighton Buzzard. It's already park land containing a variety of habitats.

This joins another large nature-oriented land purchase in the South East, with the Woodland Trust having bought 850 acres of farm land to create Heartwood over the coming decades, aiming to transform it into a huge woodland and meadows.
