Leighton Buzzard, Market town in Bedfordshire, England
Leighton Buzzard sits between the Chiltern Hills and the Grand Union Canal, featuring over 70 historical buildings along its High Street.
The town's name evolved from 'Lestone' in 1086, with the addition of 'Buzzard' coming from Theobald de Busar, a medieval cathedral officer.
All Saints Church presents a 190-foot spire and contains one of England's earliest eagle lecterns, dating from the 13th century.
The railway station provides direct connections to London Euston, while regular bus services connect to Milton Keynes and Luton.
The narrow-gauge Leighton Buzzard Railway, established in 1919 for sand transport, now maintains Britain's largest collection of narrow-gauge locomotives.
