In the accounts of the Evangelists, who describe the events in the life of Jesus and his disciples in the New Testament, we find a very nuanced picture of the Apostle Saint Peter, to whom the patronage of this church in Lilley is entrusted. On the one hand, we encounter the convinced and resolute disciple of Jesus, who, for example, attended the Transfiguration on Mount Tabor; but on the other hand, he is not free from human weakness. The latter becomes very clear in the events of Holy Week: In the Garden of Gethsemane, he falls asleep—as do the other disciples—when Jesus, after the Last Supper, addresses God the Father and asks the disciples to pray as well; and after Jesus' arrest, Peter, out of fear, even denies three times that he knows him at all. But he also weeps over his weakness and, upon encountering the risen Christ, professes his love and loyalty to him. His real name is Simon, but Jesus gives him the name Peter (the word means 'rock'), upon which the Church is to be built, and gives him – according to the Gospel of Matthew – the "keys to the Kingdom of Heaven." His feast day – together with that of Saint Paul – is celebrated on June 29th in all Christian denominations.

A pleasant walk along the Watermill canal. It's nice to see lots of people with their dogs.

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.

On the climb, make sure to admire the amazing tree canopy as well. :)

Beautiful woodland part of the Icknield Way in this area, with a climb & descent around Telegraph Hill

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!
