Popular area for kite flying and paragliding

This was on my route unexpectedly. Left my mouth open for a bit. Very beautiful.

Note that the line runs well below street level and thus needs to be accessed by a longer flight of stairs at this entry point. With a bikepacking load, a better alternative seems to be a ramp on Ambrose Lane, which I only discovered in hindsight.

As you turn off Dagnall Road, get into a low gear and take it easy. You don't want to be going into the red before the twisty steep bit, as it feels really narrow and if you put your foot down it might be hard to get going again.

Ashridge house and the surrounding woods are a great spot for a ride or a run. Elizabeth 1 spent parts of her childhood at the house.

Dunstable downs is a great place to bring a bike, once you have put the effort into riding up you are rewarded with great views and visitor centre where you can grab a coffee. Bridleways and tracks for those on mountain or gravel bikes and surfaced multi user path along the ridge for other bikes.

beware you brakes get very hot by the time you get to the bottom.. allow extra braking time when you come to stop at the end.

Great Christmas light trail.

Beautiful ride through the trees and not a car in sight.

Great place to spend some time here with family.

It's names Bison Hill because of the Bison that live in the neighbouring field. Look out for them on the way up, but not on the way down - keep your eyes on the road, as it can get hairy if you don't quiet read the bend when a car is coming the other way.

At Dunstable Downs there is a group of seven round barrows, consisting of two bowl barrows, three bell barrows, and two pond barrows. It is thought that they were initially used as burial grounds for Kings or Chiefs, although excavations of two of the bell barrows in August 1850 revealed no treasure to support this. Excavation history When the northern-most barrow was excavated in 1928 by Sir Mortimer Wheeler, a crouched female skeleton with a late Neolithic knife at her shoulder was found. This was later put on display at Luton Museum and Art Gallery. Other excavations throughout the 1920s revealed over 90 skeletons from various periods. For instance, in Saxon times about 30 bodies were buried there with their hands apparently still tied behind their backs. Gallows were set up on the northernmost barrow in medieval times and some of the people hanged there were also buried there. Witch lore has also been connected with the barrows, as in the trial of Elizabeth Pratt of Dunstable in 1667. She was arrested whilst meeting with three other women, plotting to bewitch the children of Thomas Heyward.

This is a fantastic house and was the former home of the 7th Earl of Bridgewater, the father of the English canal system. It was built in the classic Gothic Revival style and largely completed in 1814.
