I choose not to stop for coffee and cake as it's a little expensive and they don't accept cash. Their business so it's up to them but I choose to go elsewhere where they do accept coin of the realm.

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.

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

Good traditional pub.

A memorial to George Montague Dunk Earl of Halifax. There’s a modern plaque to read about his life. 1771.

Great ride on disused railway bed.

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

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

Lovely hard packed route through some beautiful scenery and along the Great River Ouse

Lovely hard packed trails, through the Grange Estate along the Great River Ouse

Wonderful cycle route from Bedford to Danish Camp, so much to see along the route, amazing scenery

At the eastern end of the Bedford River Park is the 297-acre (120 ha) Grange Estate. Situated on the River Great Ouse's floodplain, there are many pleasant trails by little lakes and along brooks. It’s a great place to spot kingfishers. South east of the estate is the village of Willington, where you find Danish Camp, one of the few remaining water-filled moats left from the Viking Age. Today, there's an adjacent restaurant in a Norwegian log cabin. This characterful eatery is a great place to relax after a walk in the Bedford River Valley Park.

Priory Country Park is at the western end of the Bedford River Valley Park, which covers 3.5 square miles (5.6 km) from Bedford to Willington. The Valley Park comprises Priory Country Park, the Grange Estate and the intervening riverside. Priory Country Park is characterised by its large lakes, which are popular fishing and watersports venues. For walkers, there are trails, a visitor centre, cafe and toilets.

A log cabin in woodland next to the River Great Ouse, where you can hire bikes and cycle along the Bedford to Sandy disused railway.

A "Green Flag" Country Park managed by Bedfordshire Borough Council. It sits in a large meander on the River Great Ouse and is made up of meadows, lakes (Priory Lake & Finger Lakes), reed beds and woodland. A nice spot for a relaxing ride and just off the disused east-west running railway line between Bedford and Sandy. Cycling's not permitted in some parts of the country park, so be mindful of others.

Beautiful view over the lakes Good cafe with friendly staff

Lovely park and lake with plenty of tracks and routes for all abilities and bike builds.

When using Komoot to plan our walking routes I often use churches as key features/way points. In a world without cars when the churches were built most were accessible from several directions by public footpaths or bridleways. It then necessarily follows that if you plan a circular walk and tag churches on the route the Komoot App will link each through accessible paths. Simples..... 👌

Great Danish pastry (of course) and good looking gelato. Lovely riverside seating too.
