☕️ AN IDEA WHILE YOU'RE IN TOWN....
While you’re in town why not pick up a few extra gifts from the Market, or visit one of our independent coffee shops for a hot drink and a gingerbread for the children. There are lots of low cost items in the charity shops too!
🗺 WHERE CAN I GET A TRAIL MAP FROM?
You will be able to pick up your trail map from the Leighton Buzzard Library on Lake Street or download one via the event link.
