Rushmere Country Park

3.4 miles (5.5 km)

Explore 400 acres of lakes, ancient woodland conifer plantations, meadows and heath in this country park in Leighton Buzzard.
The park has numerous pleasant walking trails and a number of family cycle routes but a cycling permit is required for the trails in the park (see the link below for more information).
Rushmere includes the 80 acre Stockgrove Park which was originally part of the Stockgrove Estate based at a house in the Buckinghamshire parish of Soulbury.
The site also has a fully accessible Sculpture Trail, an excellent visitor centre and a nice cafe for refreshments after your exercise.
To continue your outing you can follow the Milton Keynes Boundary Walk and Greensand Ridge Walk north to visit Bow Brickhill Woods and Aspley Woods where there's a great red mountain bike trail to try.
