| An
excellent walk along an ancient footpath
between fields to an attractive wood
that was mentioned in the Doomsday Book
(1086).
If you start from the village the first
section
is a prepared path (Clay Way) and is signposted
from Bedford Road. See the map here,
which you can view and print out.
The bluebells (pictured) are now a distant memory!
Darren
Woodward (Rights of Way Officer
Marston Vale Area)
contacted Cranfield Web in August and
said "Just to check that all is
well on the
Cranfield
network of Rights of Way? Its taken a while
to get round but all the paths should now
have had their first cut and the second
cut is due to start in September.
Please let me know if you are aware of
any paths that require attention."
Well,
now's your chance Cranfield walkers! Please
let me know of any problems via our
"Contact Us" page.
This
is a recently planted area that runs alongside
Rectory Lane (see map)
and is on a small hill. Walks (with short
grass!) have been cut throughout and there
are benches and tables (somewhat misshapen)
overlooking the Marston Vale. This is an
easy walk near to the village and an ideal
dog walking spot. The hill gives some opportunities
for some moderate exercise. The main entrance
is opposite the cemetery.
