Slow Ways linking Woburn and Bletchley, Dunstable, Flitwick, Leighton Buzzard, Woburn Sands

Woburn’s five Slow Ways are 50% checked
Help connect Woburn
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 Woburn’s Slow Ways.

Straightforward route, we walked in direction from Woburn to Woburn Sands....

Access would be a little difficult at points due to logs blocking paths and steps on steep inclines. The route is accurate to the paths on the ground and would definitely walk again!...

Easy route to follow - only one path through a field was a few meters off from the marked path, but easy to follow to the required gap in the hedge. Would walk again!...

An alternative which would be a bit longer uses an earlier footpath out of Tingrith in a southerly direction to go meet a path which goes over the motorway and from there a mix of footpaths will also bring you to Priestley Farm - I used some of those on my diversion but not all....

The route follows a footpath marked on the OS map that connects Tingrith to Redcaps, however I could find no path that crosses the field and goes under the M1....
