The Ridgeway - Ivinghoe Beacon to Great Kimble

An 17 mile walk along the Ridgeway between Ivinghoe and Great Kimble

An exhilarating walk at the start of the Ridgeway going in an east to west direction. Some outstanding scenery from the Chiltern hills and a few challenging climbs but well worth the effort. The walk takes in the grounds around Chequers, the Prime Ministers country residence, and theres a local tale of a ghostly lady at the Swan in Kimble and a story of when the Prime Minister turned up at Kimble's Bernard Arms.

Lincolnshire Coast Path - Wrangle to Wainfleet

Batemans brewery from the River Steeping

An 7.5 mile beach walk from Wrangle to Wainfleet

An alternative route to the coastal defence banks that provides a little more interest. Open flat farmland, tiny hamlets and a long straight footpath that was once thought to have been a Roman road. The end of the walk is at Batemans Brewery where a worthy reward of some handsome ale can be purchased in this unique setting within the confines of an old windmill.

The Peddars Way - Thetford to Knetishall Heath

Thetford to Knetishall Heath

A trek from Thetford to the start of the Peddars Way

Thetford is the closest town to the start to the Peddars Way and there is no public transport between Thetford Railway Station and the starting point at Knetishall Heath. Looking at the OS Map, there is no direct route other than to walk along the main A1066 Thetford to Diss road. This is a busy road with no pathway and there is a good 4 miles walking before turning off down village lanes through Rushford where a little peace and serenity is regained to set the tone for the Peddars Way.
