A really nice walk from Dunstable Downs Visitor Centre. As well as some spectacular views from the top of Dunstable Downs out towards Ashridge and a visit to the Whipsnade Tree Cathedral we pass through some lovely woodland, ancient lanes and small villages.

**What to expect**
An 12 mile circular walk mainly on good tracks and small lanes, some may be a bit overgrown in places. There will be a few hills, and a couple of steep climbs, total ascent 1050ft. The pace will be just over 3mph throughout the walk.

This walk will be reasonably challenging due to the amount of ascent which is mainly towards the end of the walk. It is suitable for anyone with a good standard of walking fitness.

Please read the 'About us...' section on the homepage before signing up for this walk, ensuring appropriate fitness and suitability.

If you can't make the walk please change your RSVP in plenty of time to allow others to attend.
