Houghton Regis: Traffic-free cycleway to Leagrave
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 2 May 2012
The route of a traffic-free cycleway is currently indicated by open green circles on the Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 scale maps, and, confusingly, by solid orange circles on the Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 scale maps. Further confusion is evident in this particular case where the 1:50,000 scale mapping currently on the "Where's the Path" website shows the feature correctly whereas the version currently on the Geograph website shows this route in solid green circles, indicating an on-road cycle route, which it is not and patently evidently never has been! From here it is 1 mile to Houghton Regis town centre looking in the direction of the photograph, and 2¼ miles to Leagrave in the opposite direction behind the photographer.
