View of Barton Hills

Highlight • Summit

This is beautiful countryside, I grew up in this area. I feel that a drink at Barton Spring is a must but the steep descent puts some people off.

View from Warden Hill

Highlight • Summit

From Warden Hill you get fantastic views over Luton. The hill is located within the Galley and Warden Hills Nature Reserve, a chalk downland that supports many varieties of wild flowers and rare insects, including over 20 species of butterflies.

Little Offley Gravel Track and Farmland

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Fantastic bridleway and gravel path through stunning fields and farmland. Mixed surfaces but all passable on any bike types as long as the weather hasn't been too bad recently. If in doubt, knobbly tyres are the way to go.
