아스플리 가면 주변 최고의 사이클링 경로

Easy road, nice environment

North lake is full of wildlife

great flat stretch to relax

Pleasant and enjoyable ride whilst taking in the sights. Early morning is best time to avoid pedestrians, walkers exercising around the lake and people walking their dogs.

May 2025 - The Pub has now reopened under new management.

The motorway right besides is quite noise, which disturbs the experience considerably. Also the part closer to the national bowl is a bit shabby. For the rest quite green pseudo-nature, but relaxing by bike.

Willen Lake North is part of the larger Willen Lake in Milton Keynes. The north side is well-known for its wildlife, particularly bird species, and offers quieter walking paths for nature lovers.

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

These unique, man-made lakes, formed by the extraction of clay for the nearby potteries, have become a haven for wildlife and make a pleasant passage on your bike

This is a stunning vantage point to look out at the tranquility and beauty of Willen Lake. A super place to come to blow off some cobwebs.

Caldecotte lake is another hugely popular lake in Milton Keynes. With grass bank verges to take in the sunshine and acres of open space to take in the fresh air. Here you can escape the hustle and bustle of the day to day life of the city.

This is a lovely view of one of the spurs of Caldecotte lake and of the river Ouzel for that matter.

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

A lovely coffee and exceptional cannoli. There is a cycle rack across the road in the market carpark, which is visible from the cafe tables on the street. I will be returning here again :)

A pretty stone bridge to get to the equally pretty stone village of Turvey. Good views of the River Great Ouse and the wildlife that lives there.
