A walk along the Ouse Valley Way from St Neots to Houghton. A perfect river side walk following the gentle flowing River Ouse as it meanders past nature reserves to Godmanchester.

A North Bedfordshire walk along the Ouse Valley Way between Oakley and Carlton taking in the charming villages of Pavenham, Sharnbrook, and Odell.

There's plenty to see and explore along the route with medieval river bridges, the Holywell at Stevington, the ghostly tales of Odell and the picturesque villages of Pavenham, Radwell, Sharnbrook, and Harrold.
