Extensive chalk and grassland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
Soar above a breathtaking landscape, sculpted over time, decorated by nature and enjoyed by generations.

Stand on top of Dunstable Downs for a view that will simply take your breath away. These Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) are designated for the quality of their chalk grasslands.

As well as two Scheduled Ancient Monuments (Five Knolls and Medieval Rabbit Warrens) there are many other historical features and the site has much to offer you.

The chalk grasslands of the Downs have miles of footpaths and several circular walks, a fascinating history and an abundance of plants and wildlife.

Dunstable Downs is within the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and the highest point in Bedfordshire.

The wind-swept ridge provides ideal conditions for a variety of air sports, especially kite flying. On calmer days it's the ideal site to enjoy the view and a picnic.

Timanfaya National Park covers the municipalities of southern portion of Tinajo and the northern portion of Yaiza in the south western part of the island of Lanzarote this area was affected by volcanic eruptions that struck between 1730 and 1736, with subsequent eruptions in 1824. This long eruption process, one of the most significant and spectacular of the historic volcanism on Earth, drastically changed the morphology of the Island, leaving a quarter of it almost completely buried under a thick layer of lava and ash.

The Abbey Gardens
The 6th Duke was interested in gardening. One of the first commissions he gave when he inherited Woburn was to ask Humphry Repton to produce designs for improving the Pleasure Ground and the park. When the 6th Duke inherited Woburn he commissioned Humphry Repton (1752 - 1818), the famous landscape gardener, to produce designs for improving the gardens and park.

River Ouse in and around Buckingham, normal level would be about 0.48m but it's currently at 1.19m (highest recorded is 1.99m)and the Medieval Thornborough bridge the oldest bridge in Buckinghamshire.

The Ouzel Valley Park has a spacious, open atmosphere with long views. Much of the land is still leased for grazing by Milton Keynes Parks Trust and between the livestock you can still see the remnants of an old field system, the area is dotted with the remains of medieval villages and their associated fish ponds. Some of these villages may have been wiped out by the great plague in 1686 but most were simply abandoned as people moved further from the river to avoid flooding.

Brill Windmill was probably erected sometime in the 1680s, it is one of the best preserved of the dozen or so 17th century 'post-mills' still standing.
