The Old Windmill in Stanbridge is a striking, unmissable landmark for cyclists and walkers. This Grade II listed, early 19th-century red brick tower mill has had its cap, sails, and gear removed as it's been converted into a private home. It offers a great photo opportunity, but please view this unique, historic residence respectfully from the road or public footpaths only.

Can recommend the Tiddenfoot Waterside Carpark on Mentmore Road as an excellent place to start a bicycle ride or a walk. It's just on the outskirts of Leighton Buzzard and is free.

This lovely country road travels through the charming village of Bishopstone and allows you to soak up wide open spaces and far-reaching views. There is a nearby pub called The Harrow which is a great place to refuel.
