Explore Leighton Buzzard
Known for
The Leighton Buzzard Light Railway (the UK's longest narrow gauge light railway still in regular operation), All Saints Church (with the Graffiti Man medieval carving), the sand quarrying heritage, and a Bedfordshire market town of real character
A little history
Leighton Buzzard Light Railway was built in 1919 to transport sand from the quarries — the extremely pure local sand was used in optical glass and industrial processes. The railway still runs as a heritage attraction.
The narrow gauge railway is genuinely charming. All Saints Church for the medieval graffiti. The market on Tuesdays and Saturdays. The Grand Union Canal for walking.
