Overview

A rewarding circular walk from Barton-le-Clay, taking in the scenic chalk hills and valleys of the northern Chilterns. The route includes steady climbs, open downland, and peaceful field paths, with far-reaching views across Bedfordshire and into the surrounding countryside. Highlights may include Barton Hills Nature Reserve and parts of the Chiltern Way. A varied and invigorating walk for those looking to stretch their legs in a beautiful rural setting.
