Overview

The 12 mile circular walk from Barton-Le-Clay takes you through the scenic Barton Hills offering panoramic views, chalk downland, and diverse wildlife. Starting in the village, the route ascends the hills with stunning vistas, then descends into tranquil woodlands. The path loops back to the village through grassland and ancient woods. This moderate walk is ideal for nature lovers, with gentle climbs and peaceful surroundings.
