Bromham - Harrold 12 Mile Circular Walk
Details
A walk from Bromham village passing through a couple of ancient woods which in April should be full of bluebells, primroses, celandines, and wood anemones. Taking in the north Bedfordshire villages of Carlton, Harrold, and Stevington including picking up sections of the John Bunyan Trail, Ouse Valley Way, and The North Bedfordshire Heritage Trail.
What to Expect
A 12 mile walk mostly around field margins 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 and muddy. 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.
