Interactive Map

Greensand Country is a great place to get outdoors and discover some fascinating history and amazing views. There are fantastic opportunities for exploring the area on foot, bicycle or horseback. Explore routes, facilities, points of interest and much more using our interactive map.

My favourite days out have been in the woodlands and heaths of Greensand Country, where I would stumble upon the nationally-rare Adder basking in the bracken, or a butterfly sweeping through the dappled light of the trees.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find a route?
- Start by using our interactive map - this shows all of our walking, cycling & horse riding routes and if you click on the icons you can read short summaries of each route - highlights, distance, points of interest etc. You can find and filter a number of routes this way and then click through to read about the ones that interest you.
  
  On each of the walking, cycling and horse riding pages, you will find a 'routes in your area' section for ideas of popular routes and PDFs for you to download.
How long is the Greensand Ridge Walk?
- The Greensand Ridge Walk is a long-distance walk of 42 miles that crosses Bedfordshire, with brief sections in Cambridgeshire and Buckinghamshire. From its southern endpoint at Leighton Buzzard the route runs north-west to Gamlingay, following the Greensand Ridge, a distinctive feature that rises from surrounding clay vales to give a landscape of gently rolling hills and small valleys, often heavily wooded and rich in wildlife.
How long is the Greensand Cycleway?
- Sustrans has been working with the Greensand Country Landscape Partnership to extend the existing Greensand Cycleway, which previously ended in Sandy, up to Gamlingay in the east, so that it finishes (or starts, if you are riding from east to west) in the same place as the Greensand Ridge Walk.
  
  The route will also be extended to the west, to start (or finish) in the centre of Leighton Buzzard. Artists are also being commissioned to build a new gateway feature to mark the start and end of the long distance route.
How do I report a problem on a RIGHT OF WAY or HIGHWAY?
- You can report a problem on a RIGHT OF WAY by logging onto the CBC website and using the search bar to find the Rights of Way pages or use the link below:
  
  https://www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/info/82/countryside/431/rights_of_way Then click on “Report a problem” and complete the on-line form.
  
  If the issue is on a HIGHWAY (footway or road) then please use Fix My Street as this will then go to the appropriate person to progress it.
  
  If the route is not on the highway or a right of way, we have a specific email address that can be used and the gate keeper for this email can progress the issue accordingly.
