    With breathtaking views, scheduled monuments to explore, and several Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), Dunstable Downs is a fantastic place to spend some time. Situated within the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it is the highest point in Bedfordshire. There are lots of footpaths to explore across the chalk grasslands, including several circular walks. The site is managed by the National Trust and there is a visitor centre.
