Top Attractions in Dunstable
💡 Pop in during weekday office hours and ask the receptionist if the chamber is free – it's often empty and worth a quick look for the stained glass and wood panelling. Free leaflets about local history are available in the foyer.
💡 Look for the 13th-century wooden effigy of a crusader knight near the altar – one of only two such effigies in the country. The church is often quiet on weekday afternoons.
💡 Best visited in late spring for wildflowers like cowslips and orchids. It's muddy after rain, so wear wellies or boots. No bins, so take your rubbish home.
💡 Arrive early on weekends to claim a good parking spot, as it fills up fast with families and glider pilots. The visitor centre has decent loo facilities.
💡 Bring your own picnic – the café is overpriced and the on-site food is average. Arrive by 10am to see the animals most active. The zoo is huge; pick up a map first and focus on one or two zones.
