🚶♂️Walking Tour - Walking The River Lea Part One - Starting at the source
Friday 11 April 2025
Time: 14:00 - 17:00
🚶♂️The first of a series walks along the River Lea, starting at its source and following parks and meadow lands in the North of Luton.
ℹ️ ABOUT THE RIVER LEA
The River Lea is one of the longest, and most important tributaries of the Thames - taking a 42 mile journey from Bedfordshire to join the Thames at Bow Creek in East London. The Lea has formed the boundary between Saxon's and Danes, been home to medieval mills, London's furniture industry and flows through the Olympic Park. This series of walks will look at the history of the River Lea, tracing its course on its way to the Thames.
🚶♂️WHAT TO EXPECT
Starting the journey at Leagrave Station, to the North of Luton, this first walk starts at the source of the River Lea, and visits Waulud's Bank - the remains of a prehistoric settlement built at the same time as Stonehenge. Walking through water meadows and parkland that cuts through Luton's suburbs, there is a break at an old thatched pub that was once a moated farmhouse. With herons, egrets and possibly the odd kingfisher the walk follows the Lea to Wardown Park, a Victorian mansion that now forms Luton Museum. From there it is a short walk to Luton station.
📍MEETING POINT: Leagrave Train Station
♿ ACCESSIBILITY
The walk is about 5 miles in total, mostly level ground but on occasion there are muddy paths so boots are recommended.
🎟 TICKETS COST:
▪️Standard: £12.00
▪️Students; unwaged; over 65s; child (aged 6-15, MUST be accompanied by an adult): £9.00

🌳 A FREE MAZE & GARDEN CENTRE TO VISIT- 💥AN IDEA FOR A DAY OUT BY WHATSUP BEDFORDSHIRE
Friday 11 April 2025
👀 A FREE A- MAZ-ING HIDDEN GEM IN BEDFORDSHIRE at Roxton Garden Centre! A maze that is free to go too, kids & adults will love it...... if you can find it that is!
🤔SO WHERE IS IT?
This FREE MAZE is located at the wonderful Roxton Garden Centre in Bedfordshire. When you enter the car park you will not see any signposts for it. As you go in the car park facing the garden centre turn right, then turn left as if you are heading for a dead end, it may seem like you are heading for the delivery entrance but there you will see trees on your right and a sign in front of you 'Roxton Maze'.
The maze is located next to the garden centre in a spacious field with a few benches to sit on. At the moment it is being trimmed back due to some hanging branches, we had to duck and dive a few times but it added to all the fun we had.
♿️ IS THE MAZE SUITABLE FOR PUSHCHAIRS OR WHEELCHAIRS?
I would say it is NOT suitable as there are branches, some on the floor and hanging low, some spaces may not be big enough to venture through and also the surface may not be suitable in my personal opinion. It can get muddy too.
🔓WHEN IS THE MAZE OPEN?
The Maze is open the same time when the Garden Centre is open. The details are below.
Please beware they may close the maze at anytime due to maintenance, so it maybe a good idea to contact them before planning your trip to avoid disappointment.
🌺 THE GARDEN CENTRE
The garden centre is wheelchair friendly and dog friendly. You can buy things from plants, to clothes, to toys. Definitely worth a look!
☕️ THE CAFE
The cafe has hot and cold food and drink options at reasonable prices. There is a kids menu and an indoor & outdoor space with unmbrellas to sit in the sun and relax amongst the outdoor flower section of the Garden Centre. Dogs are allowed but they are not allowed in the main restaurant area. Just ask staff if you are not sure, they will be happy to help. They do a great carvery on a Sunday, you may need to book for this as it can get quite busy serving between 11:30 - 3:30pm.

Time: 10:30 - 16:00
🐑 The farm will be open again during the peak Lambing Season during the Easter period.
Visitors can hold the lambs and see a modern sheep farm at work. With over 2000 sheep to give birth, it is a great chance to see lambs being born, taking their first few steps and suckling their mothers for the first time.
👨👩👧👧 What is there to do at the farm?
There is something for everyone, from pony & tractor rides to wool spinning, painting, bouncy castle, lamb cuddles, face painting or just watching the ewes and lambs. Wellies might have to be worn as it can get quite muddy.
🚜 Tractor Ride: £1 (cash only)
🐴 Pony Rides: £2 (cash only)

✨️ Can I hold a lamb?
We can ensure everyone gets the chance to hold a lamb, unless you are pregnant in which it is not recommended.
✨️ Will I see a lamb being born?
During April we have over 500 ewes to lamb so it is very likely that you may witness one being born during the day.
✨️ Can I book to feed a lamb?
We don’t advertise feeding times as there are not enough lambs for everyone to feed, but if your lucky you may be in the right place at the right time!
🌭 Can I buy food and drink?
We sell hot & cold drinks and homemade cakes. The BBQ has locally sourced burgers and sausages. Cash only is required to purchase.
♿️ Is the site wheelchair friendly?
We offer disabled parking and most the site is concreted. It is easy to get around the lambing shed and see the attractions.
