スタッグスデンでの 周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

The route does a dog-leg about here, which takes you to the other side of the hedge. The official bridleway route. I keep missing it - although you end up at the right place in the end as you travel parallel to it and rejoin through a gap in the hedge at the end of the field.

good cafe for hot food

Bromham Mill Coffee Shop is a charming café located within the historic Bromham Mill complex and is a great place to grab some refreshments on your ride

A very pleasant walk through wooded countryside. It's normally quite muddy but now as dry as a bone

This photo gives you an idea of how dry it is in England at the moment.

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.

Kempston Riverside Park follows the River Great Ouse as it meanders into central Bedford. Myriad trails explore the surrounding greenery and there are a few small lakes and ponds that offer numerous wildlife spotting opportunities. Kingfishers are a common sight along this stretch.

An interesting bijou residence in need of TLC - for sale at the time of my visit. Its situated next to a disused railway so, presumably, it was once a Railwaymans Cottage.
