Chalgrave Heritage Trail

Hey there! If you're near Houghton Regis, I've got a great suggestion for you. Have you heard about The Chalgrave Heritage Trail? It's a fantastic circular walk that spans around 8 miles, taking you through some beautiful footpaths and bridleways. Plus, there's even a permissive path thrown in for good measure!

Now, here's the cool part - you can choose to tackle the whole trail or just take on sections of it. And let me tell you, it's definitely worth the journey. If you decide to go all in, you'll be looking at a leisurely four to five hours of walking. But fear not, it's not just a stroll - along the way, you'll come across five noticeboards filled with interesting tidbits about the landscape, wildlife, and even some cool buildings you'll encounter.

This trail has been around since April 2009, so you know it's been tried and tested by many nature enthusiasts before you. And guess what? They've even made some recent improvements! The Tebworth pond has been spruced up, and now there's a snazzy bench seat with a back panel designed by the talented children of the parish. How awesome is that?

So, if you're up for a little adventure and want to explore the natural wonders near Houghton Regis, The Chalgrave Heritage Trail is calling your name. Get your walking shoes ready and prepare for a delightful journey through history and nature. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

The Chalk Arc are funding this project.
