Ivinghoe Beacon is a fabled destination for walkers and a well-known look out point which attracts many visitors. The walk is about 6.5 miles. We'll be walking up to the top of Ivinghoe Beacon, via boulevard paths lined with overhanging trees and back via Ward's Combe woods on the way back to the Bridgewater Arms, our starting point. Walking time approx 2.5 to 3 hours.

The price for the walk is £2 to cover costs.

If you wish to you can stay afterwards for a post-walk chat, drink and food at the Bridgewater Arms, which has a real fireplace.
