The route starts in Bletchley; the town famous for being the home of secret British code-breaking activities during World War II. Bletchley Park was once a top-secret location, but it is now open to visitors.
You can explore the different types of machines and codes used, and learn about the amazing people who worked here.
The path is shared by cyclists, walkers and anglers and offers a great way to enjoy the delights of the canal system.
And you’re never far from the River Ouzel; which meanders alongside the canal for the length of your journey.
From this route, you can follow the Greensand Cycleway to Rushmere Country Park.
It has over 400 acres of parkland, including ancient woodland, meadows and heath. With picnic areas and cafes, as well as walking and cycling trails, this is a great place to visit with families of all ages.
The route finishes in the historic market town of Leighton Buzzard. This is a great place to explore and for a café stop.
