Priory Park Bedford to Danish Camp via Cardington and Copple

Event Details

A 9.5 mile circular walk starting at Priory Park  to Danish  Camp via Cardington and  Copple.

The walk will start walking around the lakes and  Priory park. We leave the park at Cardington Lock walking briefly though the industrial Estate and crossing the  roundabout of the A421 / A603 to Cardington. Here we will stop and view the  Cardington  air hangers and the view the airship R101 memorial  in St Mary's Church. Through farm tracks and public footpaths we walk towards the village of Copple.   We carry on walking to Willington and the  Dovecote (crossing the A603).

After lunch we walk toward Danish Camp  and from there we walk along the River Great Ouse and back to Priory Park Crossing over the A421 on a footbridge to the finish.

The walk will start a little earlier at 10.30 in order to complete the 9.5 mile circuit within daylight hours.  The walk is very flat. The only incline is walking onto the bridge crossing the A421 towards the end of the walk

Most of the walk will be on concrete walking paths and cycle ways (similar to red-ways in MK).
