This week’s walk Thursday 18th April -Ampthill Amble Pop Up Walk 16ml. Ldr: Sara Waldron From Ampthill Great Park, walking in the general direction of the Greensand Ridge, with a coffee stop at Clophill Old Church and a lunch stop at Silsoe.The Star & Garter pub may be open (for drinks only). A note from Sara: Some people might like to go to Wrest Park for their picnic and toilets at lunchtime. However you have to pay to use the facilities, so I'm suggesting that if people are English Heritage members they should bring their cards along.
