War Memorial on former airfield worth a few minutes stop.

A great ride through the RSPB area but be aware there is only one main route north/south that bikes are permitted. Brilliant area with cafe for a coffee and cake recharge!

The Lodge is a nature reserve managed by the RSPB. It's the largest stretch of heathland in Bedfordshire. Important species that can be seen here include Hobbies, Nightjars, Ravens, Common Lizards and Natterjack Toads. There are also areas of grassland and woods, important habitat for other species. There is a visitor centre, shop and cafe.

This is a long, straight off-road path with changing surfaces (gravel, singletrack) between Ashwell and Melbourn, which is part of the Icknield Way. It is not particularly scenic, but you can get that continuing westward toward Letchworth.

Loved this section. Chalky dry and fast!

One of my regular stops for coffee. New cafe open soon! You can cycle through the middle of the reserve - it’s a bridleway. Also along one edge from the cafe/shop to the station. Most paths closed to cycles due to ground nesting birds.

Great straight route, quite bumpy, alot divets. Ideal if you suspension to soak up the bumbs

Great place to ride through and stop for a drink

I love Shuttleworth, for the collection of aircraft and cars but also because of its history. The Manor House, the gardens and the airfield are great and also a fantastic location. The nearby village of Old Warden is also very beautiful with a great pub.

A wonderful memorial to the RAF Scouting and Bombing Squadrons, please take the time to take in the area and its history.

Fantastic tribute to all those who served at RAF Steeple Morden. Take the time to pause and reflect and remember those who sacrificed so much.

Follow the track from Ermine Street and turn left immediately before the railway bridge. The first part of the track is quite rough and can be muddy, so care needed, but it soon levels out for a great ride to Ashwell.

It says just as you go inside the gateway, no bikes, you can cycle but on the bridlepath that is central to you as you enter the gate not left or right

Do it North to South if you want to fly downhill to the gate by the Common. The other way is for those with energy still in the legs seeking a bit of satisfaction at the end of a climb…

A memorial to the Scouting and Bombing Squadrons stationed at the airfield, with several buildings and taxiways visible. A plinth with an airfield layout explains it all better than I can..!

A traffic free connection between Melbourn and Ashwell.

Impressive memorial but not a lot left of the airfield to see.

Nice brew in the RSPB shop then then only route cycles are allowed to take leads down toward Biggleswade Common. Few knarly tree roots on the last downhill section by the gate.

Off-road Royston bypass! Excellent.

With a colourful array of historic aircraft, the Shuttleworth Collection is one of the best-preserved collections in the world. Founded by aviator Richard Ormonde Shuttleworth in 1928, the collection includes Edwardian aeroplanes and the oldest British plane that can still fly. The museum hosts regular airshows throughout the year. Check their website for more information: https://www.shuttleworth.org/
