Stevington Winmill is a historic post mill. It is a Grade II listed building and is one of the few remaining post mills in the United Kingdom. The mill was built in the early 19th century and was used to grind corn. It was powered by a sails that turned a vertical shaft, which in turn drove the millstones. The mill ceased operation in the early 20th century, but it was later restored and is now open to the public. To get inside the windmill it is possible to borrow a key from one of the two village pubs but they were closed on my visit on a Tuesday

Good descent, go balls deep until you see houses on the right

Wide, straight, unobstructed road with a steady gradient and a decent road surface that flattens into a long run-out rather than a sudden T-junction so you can really descend confidently at speed. I hit 65km/h without going full gas or getting into an aero-tuck so I reckon 75 or 80km/h is achievable especially with a predominantly SW wind behind you.

Part of the River Nene Regional Park, the lake is a lovely place to spin by or stop to admire the vies. There are loads of shared walking and biking paths to choose from, all good riding surface that is suitable for all tyre types.

We did the 3.63 mile loop from Harrold Odell county park. It's a fab park and route, although you'll need wellies after a wet winter! There is also a lot of farmland in the area and we heard bird scarers almost the whole way round, even walking through the village, so if you're bringing a dog with a noise aversion, you may want to keep them on the lead.

Bromham Watermill is a flour mill on the River Great Ouse. Earlier mills existed on this site, but the current incarnation was built of brick, timber and stone in either the late 18th or early 19th century. Its cafe is a good place to grab a coffee before or after exploring the nearby Bromham Mill Nature Reserve.

Stevington Windmill is one of Britain's finest examples of a postmill and is open to the public. To access its interior, keys can be collected from the Royal George or the Red Lion. Built in the 18th century, it is today in rough working order, though requires near constant maintenance. It is possibly the last working windmill with four common sails in Britain.

Harrold is a picturesque Bedfordshire village on the banks of the River Great Ouse. The village enjoys a prime location on the edge of the Harrold-Odell Country Park, which comprises two large lakes, parkland and water meadows. The village is notable for its ancient bridge, which spans the river and connects to an equally ancient causeway to the village of Carlton.
