St Denys, Little Barford Here the little church of St Denys sits secluded by the river, its parochial life now only a memory. A visit to the church is worthwhile for the superb Norman south doorway but the site itself is perfect and more typical of the riverside settings for several churches in adjacent counties.

Train heading from London at Tempsford Crossing This was taken when we had snow on the 8th Feb 2007. The crossing is at the end of Station Road, and we get a number of trains from London-Peterborough during the hour. The road comes in from <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/TL1754">TL1754</a>, and afterwards forks to go NE towards Hills Farm and SE towards Woodbury Lodge Farm. There is a Public Bridleway at the end of each which link so that you can do a round trip walk.
