War Memorial on former airfield worth a few minutes stop.

A great ride through the RSPB area but be aware there is only one main route north/south that bikes are permitted. Brilliant area with cafe for a coffee and cake recharge!

The Lodge is a nature reserve managed by the RSPB. It's the largest stretch of heathland in Bedfordshire. Important species that can be seen here include Hobbies, Nightjars, Ravens, Common Lizards and Natterjack Toads. There are also areas of grassland and woods, important habitat for other species. There is a visitor centre, shop and cafe.

This is a long, straight off-road path with changing surfaces (gravel, singletrack) between Ashwell and Melbourn, which is part of the Icknield Way. It is not particularly scenic, but you can get that continuing westward toward Letchworth.

Loved this section. Chalky dry and fast!

In the winter months guided tours of 45 mins only going every 30 mins (selected times only) and only the ground floor is a accessible.

Easy walk from the National Trust owned Hall and Stable buildings. Great views looking back towards the Hall, and on a good day, back towards Royston

** "Folly (literally "foolishness"), plural follies, is an English term in garden design and architecture for an unusual ornamental building, [...] primarily related to landscape gardens in England. The bizarre conspicuousness of the building is intentional, the provocative uselessness of the system is programmatic. [...]" (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folly_(Garden Art)) Over the extensive pasture slopes we climb to the western ridges of the park at oddly grown, ancient willows. The visual axis of the Lindenallee leads the view over to the picturesque Folly in the northern part. Between the "Serpentine Lakes" the "Japanese Bridge" connects the areas of the park. Behind it we climb up to the artificial ruins of the Folly and enjoy the view for a while before the early dawn drives us down the slope back to the entrance.

"Wimpole Estate" is therefore on the schedule for today, which is cloudy at first and remains cloudy from a weather point of view. The only travel day without sun in the sky leads us first through the premises of Wimpole Hall. (https://artuk.org/visit/venues/national-trust-wimpole-hall-6723) I don't want to dwell on the whole powerful aristocratic fuss here; after all, the British have a much more relaxed relationship with the aristocratic upper class, which has always lovingly enslaved the population. We are not alone in visiting the spacious rooms of the Hall.

"Wimpole Estate" is therefore on the schedule for today, which is cloudy at first and remains cloudy from a weather point of view. The only travel day without sun in the sky leads us first through the premises of Wimpole Hall. (https://artuk.org/visit/venues/national-trust-wimpole-hall-6723)"Wimpole Hall is just south of the center of its park, from which the views extend north-south and east-west cross direction. The northern park retains many of the features bestowed on it by Lancelot Brown, who greatly expanded it in that direction. He advised the second Earl of Hardwicke from the mid-1760s to the mid-1770s. […] To the north of the Ha-ha (No Joke*) lies a series of serpentine lakes, identified by Brown from the late 17th century Lord Radnor's Fishponds. These are traversed by a wooden Chinese bridge […] leading to a grassy slope planted with trees , on the top of which stands the Gothic-style Folly Castle**, built […] in 1768-1772. A short stretch of linden and chestnut avenue [...] frames the view of Folly Castle. The Park or Home Farm is on the edge of the North Park, some 200 yards east of the Walled Garden, and is an unaltered remnant of a late 18th-century model farm designed by Sir John Soane for the third Lord Hardwicke.” (https://www.parksandgardens.org/places/wimpole-hall)

One of my regular stops for coffee. New cafe open soon! You can cycle through the middle of the reserve - it’s a bridleway. Also along one edge from the cafe/shop to the station. Most paths closed to cycles due to ground nesting birds.

Follies were usually built just to show off the landowners wealth and are not ruins at all. This impressive one at Wimpole Hall was erected in the mid 1770s by the 2nd Earl of Hardwicke, Phillip Yorke. The showpiece gothic tower made for an extravagant place to entertain.

The grounds of the Wimpole Estate are open to the public. Although you have to pay to visit the house, hiking around the woodland and parkland is free. There is even a farm, Wimpole Holme Farm, which is sure to delight any young walkers. There is a cafe and toilets on site.

Great straight route, quite bumpy, alot divets. Ideal if you suspension to soak up the bumbs

Great place to ride through and stop for a drink

A wonderful memorial to the RAF Scouting and Bombing Squadrons, please take the time to take in the area and its history.

Fantastic tribute to all those who served at RAF Steeple Morden. Take the time to pause and reflect and remember those who sacrificed so much.

Follow the track from Ermine Street and turn left immediately before the railway bridge. The first part of the track is quite rough and can be muddy, so care needed, but it soon levels out for a great ride to Ashwell.

A memorial to the Scouting and Bombing Squadrons stationed at the airfield, with several buildings and taxiways visible. A plinth with an airfield layout explains it all better than I can..!

A traffic free connection between Melbourn and Ashwell.
