Stevington Winmill is a historic post mill. It is a Grade II listed building and is one of the few remaining post mills in the United Kingdom. The mill was built in the early 19th century and was used to grind corn. It was powered by a sails that turned a vertical shaft, which in turn drove the millstones. The mill ceased operation in the early 20th century, but it was later restored and is now open to the public. To get inside the windmill it is possible to borrow a key from one of the two village pubs but they were closed on my visit on a Tuesday

Great place along the river for coffee and cake. Although off the main road, this cafe is on NCN Route 51 which is smooth tarmac route along the Ouse. Benefits from seating outside the cafe so that bike doesn't have to be locked up, reducing the faff time.

I'm using this route on the ride from Wootton to Sandy via Danish Camp. It's got a bit of everything, I like it.

Enjoy fantastic views down the River Great Ouse from Great Barford Bridge. Barford Bridge is an impressive landmark dating back to the 15th century. It was originally built from sandstone and limestone and has an impreswsive 17 arches!

Beautiful Georgian pub in the heart of Bromham. A great place to wind down after your walk and enjoy some familiar food or a refreshing drink.

Beautiful Grade II listed bridge that crosses the River Great Ouse.

This outstanding 16th-century building is a National Trust owned property once used as a dovecote and stables.

Just on the left before the traffic light at the bridge good cafe inner room if you need more heat great coffee

It's very tempting to go up these steps as the footpath route isn't clear - it appears to go into someone's front garden. Keep going toward the house, the path curves round to the left by the house into the fields.

Repeated the same route on the higher path No mud at all

Great spot for rehydration and food. opens Wendnesday to Saturday

The most photographed Land Rover on the planet

Always heed warning signs

This photo gives you an idea of how dry it is in England at the moment.

Pleasant wooded glade with a small pond.

Great ride on disused railway bed.

Cafes and nice buildings river side. Watch out for the "Rower" on the River Ouse

Great waterside riding through the park on Route 51 or using the cycle friendly paths and trails around Priory.

Great coffee and cycle snacks, the Longholme café is my favourite stop along the river. Still running takeaway from cafe entrance so no need to lock up the bike, reducing faff. A few wooden reels to sit under the trees and enjoy your treat.

Great stretch alongside the Ouse. Some road noise from the bypass but doesnt detract from a lovely circular route.
