We are the Kensington, Chelsea and Westminster Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Pre-registration not required for this walk - just turn up on the day.
A lovely, moderately paced 11.4 mile walk on undulating terrain along woodland paths, fields and parkland offering the additional delights of the historic town of Woburn and Woburn Deer and Safari parks where we may be lucky enough to spot some of the Safari Park animal population. Binoculars if you possess them might help here.
A few sharp, though short, downhill paths in the early stages of the walk. Advisable to bring walking poles if you regularly use them.
A couple of stiles. Maybe still mud in a few areas.
Note: Lyme disease has been detected in Woburn Park so long trousers & arm covering advised.
