Greensand Country Aspley Ride (6.87 miles 10.99 km )
Last Updated 15/05/2021Explore Bedford Estate plantations on former heaths, passing some ancient woodland and several points of interest.
This route is predominately in woodland, a mix of broadleaf and conifers, on mainly sandy ground.
Most of the 1½ miles of roadwork is on quiet country lanes, but about ¼ mile is on a busy A road from Woburn Sands. This can be avoided if the northern loop is omitted.
There are a number of permissive horse and cycle paths within the woods. Please do not ride on these without a valid permit (see www.greensandtrust.org/horse-riding).
This route uses public bridleways.
Parking: Longslade Lane Car Park MK17 9HZ (w3w: /// alien.furniture.calm). This is a well-signed car park off the A5130 (signed to Woburn Golf Course) with picnic tables and a rustic mounting block.
Car park opening and closing times change seasonally. Visit www.greensandtrust.org/local-site-aspley-woods to check opening hours.
The largest parking area is to the left of the car park, about 100 yards from the entrance.
