Overview

End-of-Year Challenge – Barton Hills Explorer
Blow out the cobwebs and finish the year on a high with this stunning 12-mile walk through the beautiful Barton Hills and surrounding countryside. Expect rolling chalk hills, sweeping views, peaceful farmland, and crisp winter air – a perfect antidote to festive indulgence!
We’ll enjoy a mix of open landscapes, quiet tracks, and nature reserves, with a few ups and downs to keep things interesting. Ideal for keen walkers looking for one last adventure before New Year.
