Cox Hill, located in Bedfordshire, England, is a modest hill that provides picturesque views and recreational opportunities for locals and visitors alike. Standing at a height of approximately 120 meters, it is classified as a hill rather than a mountain due to its relatively low elevation.

Situated in the southern part of the county, Cox Hill is part of the Chiltern Hills, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is surrounded by lush greenery, including rolling meadows and dense woodlands, offering a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of nearby towns.

The hill itself features a gentle slope, making it accessible for hikers and walkers of all ages and abilities. A footpath leads to the summit, where panoramic views of the surrounding countryside can be enjoyed. On a clear day, it is possible to see as far as the nearby Dunstable Downs and the city of Luton.

Cox Hill is also home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, with wildflowers dotting the landscape in spring and summer, and various bird species nesting in the trees. This makes it a popular spot for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers.

Visitors can make use of the nearby parking facilities and picnic areas, allowing for a leisurely day out in the countryside. Cox Hill is a cherished local landmark, enjoyed by residents and visitors who appreciate its natural beauty and recreational opportunities.

Solar farm at Sandy One of the larger installations of this type. Only a fraction of it is visible in this view. It would be nice to think it was powering the railway directly, but obviously not, or the trains would stop on a dull day.
