Overview

This circular walk starts from the village of Slip End and takes us east over to the hamlet of Pepperstock. From here we head south-west towards Markyate using the ancient track of Half Moon Lane. Before reaching Markyate, we start to head North towards Caddington. Just before the hamlet of Aley Green we pass Millfield Solar Farm, and then head south-east passing the hamlet of Woodside with it's large caravan park. Once we arrive back in Slip End there will be an opportunity for refreshments at the Rising Sun.
