Overview

We start by walking across the beautiful Dunstable Downs, enjoying breathtaking views across the nearby towns, villages and rural countryside fields, hills and woodland.

We head across to the scenic Totternhoe Knolls, where we’ll stop for lunch, enjoying 360-degree panoramic views as we munch on our sandwiches.

We begin heading back to the start point after we’ve finished our food, enjoying lovely views across the beautiful lowlands of Bedfordshire.

There’s a steep climb right at the end to ensure everybody gets a good work-out before we go home. Optional tea stop in the Chilterns Gateway Centre for anyone who fancies it after the walk.

🟢 Please bring packed lunch.

🟢 Cost of parking: £3.50, or free of charge for National Trust members.
