This was another very pleasant 14.4 mile walk in Central Beds and the very North Western corner of Hertfordshire. The initial walking, close to the towers of the Marsh Farm estate and the source of the River Lee, is not so enticing, but after a section along the banks of the Lee, the walker is soon up on the lofty Warden Hill, looking over Luton.
Thereafter, this is a walk of great views from fine chalk escarpments and down land, through ancient woodlands, following ancient tracks, like the Icknield Way. There's a visit to a nature reserve, with springs, in the afternoon, prior to some field edge walking to the hill-top village of Harlington.
Another excellent day's walking, spoilt only by a rather hazardous crossing of a very busy A6; take care at this point!
