4 Equestrian & Leisure Just along the Water End road is Maulden Wood, a beautiful and varied woodland set on top of the Greensand Ridge. There are a variety of walks here, from well-surfaced paths to bridleways all complemented by lovely views. From here a long distance path the Greensand Ridge Walk takes you through the woods on a 40 mile walk that stretches along the Bedfordshire hilltops with gorgeous views across the countryside. For equestrian supplies and equipment, Equisense is just a short walk up Silsoe Road and is a family owned saddlery established by passionate horse riders and owners. The new Woburn Forest Center Parcs is under a 15 min drive from the land. This new 250million site is set within a 365 acre of forest and has an abundance of both outdoor and indoor activities. Land Values Pasture land values in the region are 12% higher than the England & Wales average and some of the highest in the country. The supply of farmland to the market last year was down 16% compared to the previous year, and down 8% compared to the 10-year average. Demand for land remains robust especially from investors looking for more than a safe investment in uncertain times and this together with the diminishing supply, may help strengthen land values.
