Westmill walks

This circular walk starts in the small North Hertfordshire village of Clothall and takes you to Wallington along sections of the Hertfordshire Way before heading back to Clothall along the Icknield Way. The route takes in wooded paths and open landscapes particularly along the chalk escarpment of the Icknield Way with panoramic views of South Cambridgeshire to the north. There is some gentle climbs which may get the heart pumping, but the views are worth the effort. As this is a circular walk you can decide to walk the route clockwise or anticlockwise, however I would strongly recommend walking the route in an anticlockwise direction as described below as this route criss-crosses many other paths and bridleways and it is easy to find yourself on the wrong path as the author can attest. Walking the route in an anticlockwise direction should avoid any wrong moves.

It can also be completed in either clockwise or anti-clockwise direction.

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.
