Leisure in Stony Stratford

A walk around the town of Stony Stratford will reveal many historical and architectural treasurers. 

The town walk leaflet which lists many of these features is available for download in three sections: part 1, part 2, part 3. 

Within a mile of the town centre...often less... there is open countryside in several directions, grazed by people-friendly cattle and sheep. 

A walk on the wildlife side, by meadow fringed river which winds lazily through the 'Wind in the Willows' scene of the Ouse Valley Country Park, can be very diverting and therapeutic. 

Swan-graced, geese-gaggled and heron-haunted, the river in summer is alive with large dragonflies, or iridescent small electric blue ones, and the occasional blue flash of a kingfisher.

 In  the special nature reserves, you might see the intricate mating dance of great-crested grebes.
