Connect Sharnbrook with Slow Ways
We’re creating a network of walking routes that connect all of Britain’s towns, cities and national parks
more walks and reviews are needed to fully connect Sharnbrook to the verified network. Can you give a hike and help?

Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Sharnbrook’s Slow Ways.

We choose to walk along the river when going from Oakley to Pavenham as there is no need to walk on the road. Its a little bit confusing at the golf club but soon picked up the route again. Came across 2 stiles that were not very dog friendly just outside of Sharnbrook....

Starting in Bedford town centre it's a pavement all the way from Bedford to Clapham through to Oakley until you reach the train tracks and go through a field to reach a bridge leading to an exit near the memorial. Instead of following the road you can go through the fields next to the river and road (a sign said there were bull in the fields but when I walked through there weren't any) Past this its mostly just clear fields between the villages until you reach sharnbrook...

Lovely quiet walk, however some road walking with no path (not too much though). I did not walk all the way, I walked from Sharnbrook to Wymington....

This did not detract from the walk, but if you are wanting a quiet walk I suggest you do not do this at the weekends when Santa Pod is on....

However there is a particularly boggy section of path as you approach Pavenham from Stevington....

The first 5 miles are rural and the final 4 miles are urban and involve walking alongside roads....

The final mile into Wollaston is not so good and i would advise on a different route if possible - the road has no footpath and sharp bends and is also the main road into Santa Pod...
