Details of Commonwealth War Graves at this cemetery are here: https://www.cwgc.org/find-records/find-war-dead/search-results/?CemeteryExact=true&Cemetery=LEIGHTON-LINSLADE%20(LEIGHTON%20BUZZARD)%20CEMETERY

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!

Surprisingly large and open even though in a residential area. See:https://youtu.be/5Z4fsVQ0PDg

If you like your history this is an interesting as well as a peaceful place to stop. You will find Commonwealth War Graves dotted around the UK and the world, some in the remote places where wars were fought, others are like this one in a residential area

You can cross the River Ouzel here on a wooden bridge by cycle or rest as the Picnic Bench and if you are very lucy see a Kingfisher

Often busy with children feeding ducks, walkers enjoying the canalscape or moored boats heading to Tesco Supermarket or the town. If you want a quicker route take Vimy Road or one of the cycle paths ether side of the River Ouzel

Tarmacked cycle path and footpath that crosses the Grand Union Canal via a repurposed railway bridge. Also with access to the cycle friendly Grand Union Tow path.

Peaceful, road traffic free, great wildlife = perfect cycling 👍
