Can't access the cafe unless your a member, absolute jokes.

Good traditional pub.

This is the view from the gravel track leading to Wrest Park

A nice, long, twisty path with some light technical sections that are OK for beginners on CX, gravel and MTB bikes. It's a covered way through the trees, can get a bit muddy in the winter but very rarely it becomes impossible to pass here. The section opens up onto a long gravel path that takes you all the way to Wrest Park house and the tarmac driveway. It's a great path, usually quiet, with good views across to the wooded section or put your head down and feel the burn.

Grade I listed country house surrounded by bridleways with its own private gardens, childrens play area, toilets and cafe. Makes a good base to start a ride with ample free parking and great access into the Chiltern Hills via Barton / Pegsdon, a really good place for the non-cycling family to stay behind on a lovely summer day and for you all to have a picnic after you return from a ride. If you're into cyclocross bring some cones in your backpack and use the large grass areas for skills practice. We found an ice cream van accepting card payments too.

When using Komoot to plan our walking routes I often use churches as key features/way points. In a world without cars when the churches were built most were accessible from several directions by public footpaths or bridleways. It then necessarily follows that if you plan a circular walk and tag churches on the route the Komoot App will link each through accessible paths. Simples..... 👌

Wrest Park is a spectacular country estate on the edge of Silsoe village. The present house was built in 1834 by Thomas de Grey, an amateur architect who was inspired by Parisian design. Acres of beautiful parkland and formal gardens, including impressive columns, an orangery, a Baroque pavilion, and marble fountains, surround the house. The Grade-I listed estate is managed by English Heritage. Check their website for more information: https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/wrest-park/
