We travelled approximately 1.5 miles along the Grand Union Canal (Lengt 137 miles from the Thames to Birmingham) starting from The Three Locks to the east. After a loop we returned and travelled another 0.8 miles coming from the west to The Three Locks for a pleasant walk, we also met cyclists and runners. Many boats moored, one more interesting than the other. Recommended for a light walk, run or just a dog walk.

The first church building is believed to have been constructed in the 12th century. However, the current structure, with its distinctive architectural features, dates back to the 15th century. This period saw significant renovations and additions, shaping the church into its present form. Over the centuries, St. Mary's Church has witnessed the ebb and flow of life in Linslade. The village, once a bustling market town, experienced a shift in its center of gravity as the canal and railway revolutions drew people towards the modern town. In 1868, the church's bells were transferred to the newly built St. Barnabas Church in Linslade, reflecting the changing demographics of the area.
