Details
A lovely 12 mile circular walk from Great Offley over rolling farmland using the paths and bridleways between Luton and Hitchin passing through the small villages of Breachwood Green, Kings Walden, Preston, and Charlton.
What to Expect
A 12 mile walk predominantly on footpaths and bridleways (mostly around field boundaries) and some quiet roads, there are a few fields to cross which may be muddy if we have had any recent rain. There are some gentle hills and a few short steep climbs with the total walk ascent being around 940ft (287m). We will maintain a pace of just over 3mph throughout the walk, i.e. walking each mile in under 20 minutes.
This an enjoyable walk with not too many ascents and is suitable for anyone with a good standard of walking fitness.
