Circular walk from Ridgmont (close to Junction 13 of the M1), going through Lidlington.

The walk will go South from Ridgmont towards All Saints Church (ruins) then, after a few fields and a grove we'll cross the bridge over the M1.

Depending on the weather, we´ll reach the top of the hill/viewpoint at Lidligton Park, where we´ll have lunch as well an opportunity of appreciating the magnificent landscape/scenary of Marston Vale.

After lunch, going down the hill, we'll be crossing Marston Vale Railway (no services on Sundays) and after a couple fields and a wood, we´ll reach Brogborough and Marston Gate (Logistics Area), leading us to Ridgmont Station (and its Tea Room).

We'll then be following a parallel walkway to the A507, crossing over the M1 again, and finally back to Ridgmont.
