Meeting point for Leighton Buzzard Road Cycling Club (http://lbrcc.com/) and a monument to Leighton Buzzard's history. This work of art, by David Mayne, was officially unveiled September 2005 and has the title of 'Fly Past'. The monument is approximately 8 feet high and 8 feet wide and the design depicts the heritage of the town to the present day. The centre of the design represents the propeller of a Vimy bomber biplane which were constructed until 1919 at the Morgan & Co. factory at Vimy Road (i.e. the land where the current Tescos supermarket is sited). Surrounding the propeller are a number of disks, each of which carry designs (on both sides), representative of the towns heritage (see photos below). The designs on these disks were the result of workshops with the pupils of Leighton Middle School, the Leighton Buzzard Arts Society and the residents of Tudor Court. A circular ring of carved paving runs around the base of the monument containing the name of the town at various different points in history.

Fantastic easy cycling, very relaxing

The Grand Union Canal was once one of the most important waterways in Britain, carrying goods between London and Birmingham. The canal travels 137 miles (220 km) in total, with 166 locks. After the introduction of the railway and lorries, the waters were no longer needed for business and commercial trade stopped completely in the 1970s. Today, the canal is a peaceful waterway carrying pleasure boats gently downstream. Joggers, cyclists and walkers enjoy the well-maintained tow path along its banks. The canal is a haven for wildlife, too.
