Bromham - Harrold 12 Mile Circular Walk

A walk from Bromham taking in the north Bedfordshire villages of Carlton, Harrold, and Stevington including picking up part of the John Bunyan Trail / Ouse Valley Way and sections of the disused Bedford Northampton railway.

Walk highlights Harrold Country Park (cafe and toilets), Stevington’s Holy Well and Windmill, and weather permitting wide ranging views of north Bedfordshire.

What to Expect
A 12 mile walk mostly on paths and bridleways, with a few farm tracks and quiet roads, we will need to cross a few fields which given the time of year may be wet / muddy and or recently ploughed. There are no steep hills, and the total walk ascent is around 625 feet (190m). We will maintain a pace of just over 3mph throughout the walk, i.e. walking each mile in under 20 minutes.

This walk is not too challenging and will be suitable for anyone with a reasonable standard of walking fitness.
