    Hiking

    This chimney is all that is left of a cottage lived in many years ago by the preacher and author of the famous book 'Pilgrim's Progress'. The book was inspired by the countryside of Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire and still sells many copies today.

    Not far away from here, you can find a pub named after Bunyan, which makes a great place to refuel during your walk.

    The 17th century brick chimney is all that is left of a cottage where John Bunyan is believed to have stayed and preached. The cottage was demolished in 1877.

    There is also a bench to rest on.
