Overview

This is a one way walk 3.5 miles, starting at Beambridge and ending at Wellington.

The walk goes to Holywell Lake, then east along West Deane Way before cutting south to Lower Westford, where it heads east across the railway line to The Basins and the Sports Centre, having covered about 3.5 miles.  If you walk between the sports centre and the town centre (for a bus) that is an extra 0.7 miles.  This walk has 7 stiles, a couple of gentle hills (total ascent 300 feet).    

This will involve either catching a bus to Beambridge or organising yourselves to leave some cars at Wellington, (suggested Sports Centre) then get a lift to Beambridge, walk back then someone takes drivers back to Beambridge. If walkers use the Beambridge Inn car park please would they give the pub some custom/business.

This is a 3.5 mile walk. 

There is also a circular walk of 4.5 miles which is listed separately.
