Location: Houghton Regis
The Greenway and the route through Dunstable and Houghton Regis forms part of National Route 6 of the National Cycle Network. This provides walking and cycling routes between Milton Keynes, Luton and London. Primary schools in the town include Hawthorn Park Community Primary School, Houghton Regis Primary School, St Vincent's rc Primary School, Thomas Whitehead ce Academy, Thornhill Primary School and Tithe Farm Primary School. Secondary schools serving the area include Houstone School and All Saints Academy. The Chiltern School is a special school which has a campus in Houghton Regis. Central Bedfordshire College and Bedford College have sites in Houghton Regis, where they offer a range of further education courses.
Bordered by the Chiltern Hills, the town was once a small village that had its character changed when it was earmarked for a massive "London overspill" estate in the 1950s and 60s. The only remains of the manors, rectory land and cottage demesnes around the small village centre are names such as Tithe Farm Road. An indication of the planners' attempts to make the London migrants feel at home is the naming of the local estate roads after London landmarks; Chelsea Gardens is one example.
