Shenley Wood and Whaddon 6 miles circular (summer evening walk)

Details
This 6 mile circular summer evening walk will be led by Helen D.
Helen says: This is one of my favourite local walks out to the west of Milton Keynes and the pretty village of Whaddon. Come and see this little known beauty spot before it gets earmarked for development.

What to expect
This is a 6 mile circular walk, on woodland and field paths and tracks, some may be muddy.
The pace will be at just over 3mph throughout the walk. Ascent will be gentle hills and 250 feet.
We will start in Shenley Wood, then make our way west to the boundary of MK, with views to Silverstone. We then walk south through a beautiful valley and up to Whaddon, past Whaddon Manor and church. We also skirt round HMP Woodhill….so best behaviour everyone!

This walk is quite challenging and is suitable for anyone with a good standard of walking fitness.
If you are a first timer please read the 'What we're about' section on the homepage before signing up for this walk, ensuring appropriate fitness and suitability.
