Leighton Buzzard Windows

The quintessential market town of Leighton Buzzard is located near the Chiltern Hills in Bedfordshire. Sometimes referred to as ‘Leighton Linslade’ thanks to the bordering town of Linslade, Leighton Buzzard is famed for being where the Grand Union Canal first opened but is also infamous for being the location of the Great Train Robbery in 1963.

The Grand Union runs right through Leighton Buzzard/Linslade, connecting barges to London in one direction and Birmingham in the other, with those on foot often using the canal towpath as a place to walk on sunnier days. The Leighton Buzzard Railway is the town’s top visitor attraction and possesses the largest collection of narrow-gauge trains anywhere in Britain. Despite its modern amenities and culture, many of the town’s architecture and buildings date back as far as the 13th Century, with the likes of the town’s High Street featuring many Grade II listed buildings from the Middle Ages.
