'Consists of 20 circular walks of between 10 and 15 miles, which link together to form a "chain" across the Chiltern Hills of southern England. It starts at Dunstable Downs, towards the north-eastern end of the Chilterns, and stretches south-west to Goring, where the river Thames separates the Chilterns from the Berkshire Downs.'

'The route follows a ridge of greensand which rises from the clay vales on either side and is an ideal introduction to the history, landscape and wildlife of this part of the country. The 40 mile / 64 km walk starts in Leighton Buzzard and finishes in Gamlingay.'

'The choice of name for this path which meanders along the River Hiz is based on history going back to the days of King Offa of Mercia who founded a religious settlement in Hitchin. The path follows the route the Hicca tribe would have more or less followed from Hitchin to the Danish Fort near the south east corner of Henlow.'

'This walking guide pays homage to John Bunyan (1628-1688), the legendary Puritan Evangelist and world-famous author of The Pilgrim’s Progress. It identifies and illustrates many of the locations associated with him; and for the first time gives a full description of the 81-mile John Bunyan Trail, broken into ten segments to enable people to enjoy particular sections of it. As Bunyan himself prophesised with regard to “The Pilgrim’s Progress”, Bedfordshire Ramblers hope that “this book will make a traveller of thee”.

I then add a description of the walk to the latest walks page of this web site, complete with photographs and a map of the route (courtesy of Google Maps).
