A great ride through the RSPB area but be aware there is only one main route north/south that bikes are permitted. Brilliant area with cafe for a coffee and cake recharge!

The Lodge is a nature reserve managed by the RSPB. It's the largest stretch of heathland in Bedfordshire. Important species that can be seen here include Hobbies, Nightjars, Ravens, Common Lizards and Natterjack Toads. There are also areas of grassland and woods, important habitat for other species. There is a visitor centre, shop and cafe.

I choose not to stop for coffee and cake as it's a little expensive and they don't accept cash. Their business so it's up to them but I choose to go elsewhere where they do accept coin of the realm.

Forest short cut/single smooth surface dirt track 'footpath' - out of sight from vehicles - to Deedale/Carthagena Rd.

Great peaceful place to make a stop on your ride for coffee or drink.

Fantastic views upstream from one of the two Blunham Bridges which spans over the River Ivel on Tempsford Road.

Enjoy fantastic views down the River Great Ouse from Great Barford Bridge. Barford Bridge is an impressive landmark dating back to the 15th century. It was originally built from sandstone and limestone and has an impreswsive 17 arches!

One of my regular stops for coffee. New cafe open soon! You can cycle through the middle of the reserve - it’s a bridleway. Also along one edge from the cafe/shop to the station. Most paths closed to cycles due to ground nesting birds.
