Starting in Barton-le-Clay, we head towards the Barton Hills National Nature Reserve. The climb to the top offers incredible views over North Bedfordshire. From the Barton Hills, we connect to the ancient Icknield Way, often described as England's oldest road, a prehistoric path that runs along the chalk escarpment. In the Pegsdon Hills Nature Reserve, we ascend Deacon Hill for some of the best 360 degrees views in the area, often referred to as John Bunyan’s Delectable Mountains. We then descend from the hills to the picturesque village of Hexton, a model 1920s village, a perfect place for a pub stop at The Raven, before heading back to Barton-le-Clay. Where: Park in Old Road, Barton-le-Clay, Bedfordshire, MK45 4LH. Recreation ground and playing fields will be on your left as you park. Additional Details: Start point of walk is c.35 minutes' drive from Milton Keynes. Please meet at Caldecotte Lake for shared lifts to start point. | 07531 728687 Boyd F | ||

The café in Castlethorpe is currently closed, so we will stop for lunch and a toilet break outside the Barley Mow pub in Cosgrove. There is plenty of outside seating and if some of us buy a drink it should be OK with the management. There are no stiles on this route. The walk is along hard track paths alongside the river and canal, but also some grassy paths through fields with cattle and sheep. Bring a packed lunch or snacks. Meet at Haversham Viaduct car park off Haversham Road, just before the river bridge. [Note This car park is sometimes flooded after heavy rain – I will update this note a few days before the walk] | 07710 423032 Philip T | ||
