LidlingtonLidlington
is a small village overlooking the Vale of Marston. Local speculation is that
the Greensand Ridge at Lidlington was the model for the "Delectable Mountains"
in John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress. The steep slope at the edge of the village
may also be Bunyan's "Hill of Difficulty". In
a field outside Lidlington is the Devil's Jumps, a solitary stone with a tale
of devilment attatched. According to local legend a young man was indulging in
boisterous play on the Sabbath, when the devil, seeing his chance, leaped on the
lad's shoulders. The ground opened up at his feet and the young man and his comrades
fell straight into Hell, whereupon the ground closed again, leaving only the stone. A
disused brickwords pit has been transformed into a lake which is popular for windsurfing,
while another area of the old Lidlington Brick Works has been reclaimed as the
Forest of Marston Vale, a nature reserve
with woodlands and wetlands which are a delight for birdwatchers. BEDFORDSHIRE
