Buckden Towers and Gardens

Highlight • Historical Site

Buckden Towers, comprising the Great Tower, walls and grounds, are all that remains of Buckden Palace which dates from 1479. The site of the Palace is over 900 years old and was identified in the Domesday Book of 1086 as belonging to the Bishop of Lincoln.

Historically, Buckden has played an unhappy role. Henry VIII's first wife Katherine of Aragon was locked up here for not producing a male heir. A few years after Katherine's death Henry, took his fifth wife, Catherine Howard there to escape the plague in London.

However, it was during their stay at Buckden that Henry accused his new young wife of adultery with Thomas Culpeper, eventually leading to her execution.

Buckden Towers are privately owned and have conference room and retreat facilities, self-catering apartments and a tea-room.

Fast, straight descent with a decent surface that eases at the bottom before the T-junction. Put some watts down and you can really fly.

View of Shuttleworth House

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Views over fields to Shuttleworth House - Shuttleworth House, within Old Warden Park, was built 1875-76 for Joseph Shuttleworth. 1 It's a Victorian homage to Jacobean style, designed by Henry Clutton. 1 Later, it became part of a trust, honoring Richard Shuttleworth, and now showcases rich family history

Old Warden Scenic Route

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Beautiful stretch of road, quiet, perfect tarmac, sweeps through the pine trees. It's like a little magic place and feels like I've rediscovered it everytime ride there. Always makes me think of holidays and riding in the French alps. There's no great elevation, it's just a bit twisty and beautiful.
