Overview

The walk will take us towards Kensworth and then down to Studham where we will stop for lunch.  For the afternoon, we make our way back via Whipsnade.  There we will have a chance to look around the tree cathedral before returning to the visitors centre along the Icknield Way.  Please bring along a packed lunch and drinks for the day. We may be able to stop for a drink in Studham.

Meet at the Dunstable Downs Visitors Centre, LU6 2GY where there is parking. The cost is £3.50 for the day but is free for National Trust members. There are toilets and a cafe here too.

Participants on this walk need to have suitable footwear and equipment and be able to walk the distance and terrain so please consider this before booking. If you are unsure then please contact the walk leader before booking to ascertain whether this walk is suitable for you.  Please remember to bring along your ICE (In Case of Emergency) card with details of emergency contacts, medical conditions and medications.

The leader has set a limit of  walkers and requires you to book.  If your plans change please let the leader know in case there is a waiting list. Your details will be used solely for the purpose of the walk and will then be destroyed.
