Would you like to get out in nature and find out more about your local area with a friendly bunch of people this year?

2026 marks the 40th anniversary of the Greensand Ridge Walk. It’s a 42-mile route that follows the top of the Greensand Ridge, from Gamlingay to Leighton Buzzard.

The Greensand Trust have planned a series of guided walks to celebrate this significant anniversary. These 8 walks range between 3 and 9 miles which take place between May and early September. Led by a member of The Greensand Trust with support from their trusty volunteers there is something for beginners who would like to try a relatively short walk, to confident walkers who prefer a longer stretch.

The 42 mile walk was drawn up in the 1970s to enable local communities to discover more about the wildlife and history of the area. It also aimed to connect valued countryside sites the wider footpath network, linking to other points of interest across the Greensand Ridge.

Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire County Councils worked together with Rambling groups to identify a route, working with local landowners to plan viewing areas and install signage. By October 1986, the route was in place, and formally opened in Woburn Abbey.

It is a great way to discover just how special Greensand Country is. Depending on which walk you choose you may explore open heathland, rich ancient woodlands, historic parklands and sandstone buildings
with friendly and likeminded people.

The £10 fee raises funds for The Greensand Trust charity, and includes coach travel for any of the non
circular walks.
