The Old Windmill in Stanbridge is a striking, unmissable landmark for cyclists and walkers. This Grade II listed, early 19th-century red brick tower mill has had its cap, sails, and gear removed as it's been converted into a private home. It offers a great photo opportunity, but please view this unique, historic residence respectfully from the road or public footpaths only.

Great cafe, after a good climb

wonderful cafe, Spanish tortilla for lunch was excellent!

Now open and serving illy coffee and some great food - nice location and atmosphere

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.

A local back lane through the Hamlet of Clipstone.. It is tarmacked and prone to potholes after a winter. Clipstone is a small hamlet just outside Leighton Buzzard. It was first recorded in the records as Clapeston in the 1190s. The name is considered to be part Old English and part Scandinavian. This means it may date to the Danish invasions of the 8th and 9th Centuries! The first part of the name (Clip) comes from the Scandinavian name Klyppr and the second part (ton) means town, settlement or enclosed farm. Therefore, the name means Klyppr's settlement. As usual, we don't know who Klyppr was but he must have been an important man to have a settlement named after him!

New cafe opened around August 2023. Daisychain is at he Ivinghoe Community Hub which replaces the cafe which used to operate in the other half of the building. A good latte and I won't have to ride by wishing the old cafe was open!

As well as a historic church it has some handy benches in the church yard or adjacent park if you are in need of rest or a bite to eat
