Creek at Sandy Smith Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

Got here first thing before sunrise and the birdsong and peacefulness is amazing. I was treated to various bird murmurations as well which were stunning. It's a hard packed gravel area although the 1st part can get a bit muddy.

Chicksands Bike Park

Highlight • MTB Park

Chicksands is a fantastic area for off-road biking. There are numerous entrances (including the northern entrance where you can access the bike park). This entrance provides access from two good paths, one from the roundabout at the intersection of the A600 and Bedfordshire Rd, the other is from the roundabout where the A507/A600 and Ampthill Rd near the council officers.
