Kevin Mcloud of Grand Designs fame would approve which is good because he comes from Dunstable and if Badly Drawn Boy or Faye Tozer from Steps ever want to perform this would also be a homecoming for them. Unlikely they would be on the same bill though.

It is a memorial in part to those lost in the great war based on the experiences of Blyth. It contains an enormous variety of trees all forming a canopy that has to be seen to believed. It really is a proper cathedral as trees have been planted in roughly the same way a stone cathedral is laid out. It is surrounded by a large hedge. There are regular services, weather permitting.
- Queens Cross – The town has one of the Eleanor Crosses. These were erected by the orders of Edward the First whenever he stopped on his way back to London following the death of his wife.
Plenty to be getting on with then.
