About the Parish of Leighton-Linslade

Click here for the Leighton Buzzard & Linslade Town Guide

Leighton Buzzard is a traditional market town that has managed to retain its unique history and character whilst still meeting the demands  of  a busy Town in the 21st century. A network of streets and shopping mews lead into Market Square, where the 19th century former Moot Hall and a fine 15th century market cross are located. The splendid broad High Street, with many interesting buildings, leads to Church Square and the 13th century All Saints Church. The Grand Union Canal provides the back drop for the smaller town of Linslade.  This once industrial artery now provides a variety of leisure pursuits, with colourful narrow boats taking advantage of the free mooring to visit the many, individual, local shops.
