Walking Between Beeston and Old Warden

Walker
↔18.57 km ↗+54 m ↘-54 m ◔5h 30 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Sandy (Central Bedfordshire)

This is a thoroughly enjoyable walk with lots of variety, all on the more elevated parts of Bedfordshire. The fields are open so there are plenty of views, but there are stretches of woodland, three interesting villages and plenty of wildlife. It is no more than a guess, but I would think keen bird watchers might find it worthwhile to tote field glasses. At worst it will give them a closer look at the aerobatics over Biggleswade airfield.
