Beds Bucks & Northants group will be celebrating the LDWA’s 50th anniversary with a 27 mile linear group walk along the Grand Union Canal passing through BBN’s three counties.
Everyone is welcome to join us.

A 27 mile linear canal group walk, with coach transport from Leighton Buzzard Railway Station to Stoke Bruerne, then we’ll be walking back to Leighton Buzzard along the Grand Union Canal. 
The coach will be leaving LB station at 7.30 am prompt. There is a £5 contribution to travel cost.

A shorter distance of 16.5 miles is also possible. This distance includes a 1 mile walk through parkland and then 1 mile to MK station.

ALL THE INFORMATON YOU WILL NEED IS HERE   Information Sheet

 

We start our walk from the attractive canal village of Stoke Bruerne and a flight of 7 locks, soon passing though tranquil countryside with some fine open views, to reach the locks at Cosgrove and the 200 year old Iron Trunk Aqueduct which carries the canal over the River Ouse. The canal contours around Milton Keynes to reach the locks at Fenny Stratford.  Then comes more pleasant countryside and locks and the end of the walk at Leighton Buzzard.

There will be a downloadable certificate upon completion.
