Greensand, Gravel & Great Ouse
Route GPX File Greensand, Gravel & Great Ouse This is a route across a variety of country landscapes which only involves about 200m climbing overall but does include some off road paths. It is configured to start at Sandy Rail Station but could be equally well started at Bedford or Flitwick. It follows the Greensand Ridge and Marston Vale before visiting Bedford and following the Great Ouse river back towards Sandy. Most of it is on minor roads but the stretch of the National Cycle Route network is on cycle paths. Zooming in: Highlights: Olde villages. Ickwell Green, Ampthill etc. Shuttleworth Aerodrome The countryside of the Greensand Ridge The NCR cycle path along the Great Ouse. Bedford. The riverside cycle route. The usual ghosts, ghouls and absurdities Route Tips I suspect that the cycle path alongside the Great Ouse might suffer after heavy rain. There are more trains stopping at Bedford than Sandy and Flitwick Station is 2 miles off the route....
