Aylesbury to Dunstable by private car

Dunstable is about 16 miles from Aylesbury town centre. The usual route heads north-east on the A418 through Wing towards Leighton Buzzard, then picks up the A505 Leighton Buzzard bypass, which runs east to the A5 and on into Dunstable. Outside rush hour the drive normally takes around 25 to 30 minutes.

Dunstable has had no passenger railway since 1965, so many people heading to and from the town rely on a car. We can take you to the Thameslink station at Leagrave, to appointments at the Luton & Dunstable University Hospital just over the boundary in Luton, and up to Dunstable Downs and Whipsnade Zoo for days out. With the M1 at Junction 11 and Luton Airport just a few miles east, Dunstable is also a handy place for travellers to start or finish an airport journey.
