Beaut long views of an allotment

Nice views, worth the climb, even on a driech day!

This Tower was built in memory of Francis Egerton, who was the Third Duke of Bridgewater. Egerton was an expert in inland navigation. He was involved in the construction of the Bridgewater Canal (joining Worsley and Manchester), which is the first modern British canal. He also built the canal joining Liverpool and Manchester. Not only that, but he made 2 million pounds out of these adventures and ventures. Be sure to walk up to the top of the Tower. The views from up there are tremendous.

The views are spectacular in all directions as you run along this elevated section of the Ridgeway National Trail. The route follows the ancient Iron Age earthworks of Grim’s Ditch. Pitstone Hill is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) due to the biological and botanical interest of the area. The chalky slopes are home to several important species of rare plants and butterflies.

The lion was carved into the hills overlooking Dunstable Downs close to Whipsnade Zoo in 1931-33. Some say it was to remind pilots not to fly too low when crossing the zoo so they didn't scare the animals. Others believe that it was an elaborate advert. In 2017/18, the lion was refurbished with a donated 800 tonnes of chalk so now it can be appreciated from quite some distance.
