A few miles to the east of Quainton is the village of Whitchurch, where there's a decent Fuller's pub, the White Swan. It has a website for you to find out more.
East South East now, if that's not too technical for you, we come to Wingrave and the Rose & Crown, which also has a website.
To the North East is the village of Wing, close to the county boundary. The pub here has certainly got one of the country's most prominent signs!
Nearby is the Grand Union Canal and the lock at Old Leighton, with its adjacent pub, the Globe Inn.
We now follow the canal for about a mile in a southerly direction, into Linslade, where Leighton Buzzard station is located. But first we look at Leighton Lock.
Ok, to the railway station, where we find a variety of traffic.
Close to the station is the Buckingham Arms.
Not far away, two other decent pubs, technically in Linslade. First, the Hare Inn.
Then comes the White Horse, a classic back street boozer with B&B.
Into Leighton Buzzard town centre. It's a lovely old market town, though the outskirts are continually being expanded with housing estates. Here are a couple of recent views.
There's time for a pint now. First stop, the Wetherspoons, The Swan Hotel.
The Red Lion is next. It's a friendly place. Something tells me that they like dogs.
Here are two of the Red Lion dogs. (BTW, there's also a cat).
Three more good pubs now, the Sun, the Black Lion and the Golden Bell.
Finally, we arrive at the town's superb micropub, the Bald Buzzard.
That seems like a good place to finish. In the next post, we'll ride a narrow gauge railway.
