Walk 236: Lilley Loop

4.8 miles (7.8km) with 97m of total ascent

The byway between points 2 & 3

This is an excellent walk across the beautiful rolling countryside north of the village of Lilley. We were both struck by the silence between points 3 & 5, broken only by hovering skylarks. All through the route the hedgerows were ablaze with a wide variety of wildflowers. You will walk along parts of two long-distance paths, the John Bunyan Trail and The Icknield Way, and pass a Bronze Age burial barrow.
