A local back lane through the Hamlet of Clipstone.. It is tarmacked and prone to potholes after a winter. Clipstone is a small hamlet just outside Leighton Buzzard. It was first recorded in the records as Clapeston in the 1190s. The name is considered to be part Old English and part Scandinavian. This means it may date to the Danish invasions of the 8th and 9th Centuries! The first part of the name (Clip) comes from the Scandinavian name Klyppr and the second part (ton) means town, settlement or enclosed farm. Therefore, the name means Klyppr's settlement. As usual, we don't know who Klyppr was but he must have been an important man to have a settlement named after him!

This scenic section with a lock segment is popular with walkers and cyclists heading from Leighton Buzzard Town to the Globe Inn. Twelve Arches Weir (originally built with 12 arches, later expanded to 15) discharges overflow water from the Grand Union into the River Ouzel - quite an impressive sight after heavy rain.

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.
