Visited this beautiful place whilst in the area this must of been a beautiful place to live with the long driveways overlooking the countryside not really an explore but worth checking out if your nearby.

It's a lovely ruin, for sure, but like you say, not really exploring to be honest...

Went here after Thurleigh and stewartby didn't get many pictures of stewartby as a van showed up so we left but this was only 5 minutes away and had to check it out great look round if you get a chance though.

Nice wander, but not so much exploring as sightseeing with the trust. Still nice to see though. Can we have title amended please, it should have : Name, area, county, & mth yr of explore.

Done, as stated we only went to see this after we had been to two other locations and was close by just wanted to put it on so other people could be aware of the place if they have never been as its a lovely place to visit.

I totally agree, I sometimes think we should have Heritage sites section, as they get wrecked too, , and were once abandoned wrecks. Also a nice place to practice photographs in natural light and play around with.

Many thanks for amending title

Grew up in ampthill. Many a fun time climbing and hiding in all the nooks and crannies of that place... God, now I sound old !

Lovely spot there. I live not far away in Dunstable. Went up there in the summer and had a picnic, lovely spot to play with angles and lighting and als very peaceful and quiet! You get a good view of Stewartby's Chimneys from the top of the hill

Nice views from up there, about as hilly at Bedfordshire gets!
