Overview

Starting from Priory Country Park, we walk through Ouse Valley Park, before crossing the river at Cardington Mill lock. Following footpaths and tracks we head up to the village of Renhold where we will have our lunch at the church. After lunch we walk along field paths with some nice views down to Bedford and the distant Cardington Hangers, before crossing the river at Carding Mill Lock again and walking alongside the river and back through Priory Country Park.
