Walking onto Kensworth church where we stopped for our coffee break in the morning sunshine.
It was then off through the fields up to the village making our way towards the sawmill on the outskirts of the village.
Passing on the paths around Holywell, we carried on for a well deserved picnic stop at the church in Whipsnade.

 Walking past the Whipsnade tree cathedral we joined the sunken path that led us up to Bison hill, with great views over the vale of Alyesbury in front of us.

Continuing along the top of the downs, we made our way back to the gateway visitor centre and the end of a very enjoyable walk, on a nice bright sunny but at times windy day.
