Not super easy to find the way into the park if you don't know it, so make a bee-line for Bee Hire and you'll see the pathway on the right.

The first church building is believed to have been constructed in the 12th century. However, the current structure, with its distinctive architectural features, dates back to the 15th century. This period saw significant renovations and additions, shaping the church into its present form. Over the centuries, St. Mary's Church has witnessed the ebb and flow of life in Linslade. The village, once a bustling market town, experienced a shift in its center of gravity as the canal and railway revolutions drew people towards the modern town. In 1868, the church's bells were transferred to the newly built St. Barnabas Church in Linslade, reflecting the changing demographics of the area.

A surfaced shred use path that runs along the edge of Linslade Woods. Useful for local access or a local fitness loop

The tool station is a useful addition

One of Central Bedfordshire Cycle Repairs stations has been installed. The station includes a stand to mount a bike on, an integrated multi-valve pump and a series of tools, such as screwdrivers, spanners, hex keys, and tyre levers.

This segment of the canal is quite rural in character despite being close to Linslade/Leighton Buzzard. You will often see Heron's waiting patiently and if you approach quietly you stand a good chance of getting close.

Meeting point for Leighton Buzzard Road Cycling Club (http://lbrcc.com/) and a monument to Leighton Buzzard's history. This work of art, by David Mayne, was officially unveiled September 2005 and has the title of 'Fly Past'. The monument is approximately 8 feet high and 8 feet wide and the design depicts the heritage of the town to the present day. The centre of the design represents the propeller of a Vimy bomber biplane which were constructed until 1919 at the Morgan & Co. factory at Vimy Road (i.e. the land where the current Tescos supermarket is sited). Surrounding the propeller are a number of disks, each of which carry designs (on both sides), representative of the towns heritage (see photos below). The designs on these disks were the result of workshops with the pupils of Leighton Middle School, the Leighton Buzzard Arts Society and the residents of Tudor Court. A circular ring of carved paving runs around the base of the monument containing the name of the town at various different points in history.
