Good range of pubs - take your pick for a stop

The village boasts a collection of well-preserved Georgian buildings, which gives it a charming atmosphere. Many good pubs but if you fancy a coffee or a lite bite try Flootes

The Clappers is a fascinating clump of trees on top of what was an Iron Age fort (!) The ascent is easy, but hikers should note that the descent (down a perilously steep set of makeshift wooden stairs) is challenging in the wet.

A fantastic forest walk with amazing views from above over the Chilterns, particularly towards the north. On the way, you will encounter a memorial by W A Robertson, who gave this area to the National Trust in memory of his brothers who died in the Great War. A great and enjoyable steep set of wooden stairs by the end of this stretch, too, as you rejoin the Chiltern Way.

Great for a picnic

Great red route big smiles all round, fun fun fun Well maintained trails easy to follow signs 👍

It’s all fun 👍

Food and drink top up with a wide range of choices.

Great picturesque village, some places to eat and drink and a local convenience store as well. Just be aware of the traffic here as it's a staggered crossroads and cyclists at this point seem to be invisible to vehicles.

I’m a bit bias but Ampthill is a lovely Georgian Market Town, and it offers some great places to stop. The friendly Deli on Bedford Street has great Allpress coffee and cake, with seating in Market Square during the warmer months. The Hide on Woburn Street offers great cake and a bike rack, outdoor seating with heaters and the Oakman Inns White Hart is great if you fancy something more substantial.

A pretty village that's a great hub for road cycling and MTB in the area.

Interesting ruined mansion in Houghton Conquest, grade 1 listed. Quite busy on a weekend, but should be quiet at other times. Free to have a look around

The hollowed walls of Houghton House are a ghost of their former elegance. Built in the 17th century for the Dowager Countess of Pembroke, the house reflected Jacobean and Classical styles. It is thought that the house inspired 'House Beautiful' in John Bunyan's book Pilgrim's Progress. The house began to decline from the late 18th century, when its furnishings and roof were sold. You can visit its ruined walls, which are managed by English Heritage, during daylight hours or from 10am to 6pm.
