North Common Road
A view south-westwards across Redbourn Common from the most northerly part. A large common [30 acres = 12 ha] of semi-natural grassland, bisected from here to Church End by an avenue of lime trees, used as school playground, cricket and football fields, village open space, and once upon a time a meeting place for the hunt.

Cumberland House
Cumberland House is said to have been built by the 'butcher' Duke of Cumberland as a hunting box at the time when he kept his hounds at Dunstable Downs. During rebuilding one of the chimneys a brick was found with the date 1745. In 1890 the then owner, Mr R Cecil Peake, installed a generator, making it the first house in the village with electric lighting. A more recent owner was the Central Electricity Generating Board [later National Grid], who used it as an electricity supply control centre. The old car park is now used for housing, and the back part of the Cumberland House Garden has become the Village Garden.
