Overview

PLACES ON OUR WALKS MUST BE BOOKED IN ADVANCE.

Starting in the lovely Ampthill Great Park the walk will pass the ruins of Houghton House and go on through woods and fields to the former brickworks village of Stewartby. Skirting Stewartby Lake and stopping at the Forest Centre for lunch. Returning to the park via the Millbrook Proving Ground and the Greensand Ridge. Mostly good paths but some are overgrown or muddy. One fast road to cross
