Flitwick to Luton
A station-to-station walkBedfordshireSouth East England
Pavements out of Flitwick, then field paths, bridleways and old unsurfaced lanes through downland and woods, with several muddy sections and stretches that are becoming overgrown. Climbs fairly steeply past an old quarry; ends on pavements through housing. A few steps and gates and kissing gates but no stiles. Follows a Chiltern Way extension for part of its length. Barton-le-Clay, roughly mid-route, has plenty of shops, pubs and restaurants.
Lunch: Barton-le-Clay, roughly mid-route, has plenty of shops, pubs and restaurants.
Warnings: Several field-edge paths are overgrown; long trousers advised against nettles in summer. The A6 crossing has no lights but good sight lines and a central refuge. A short stretch of road walking on Harlington Lane has a disconcerting blind bend. Can be muddy.
