It was a grey November day, however it was warm and dry and the colours were amazing! If you wait for the weather you may never do anything. We saw Flitton Moor, Flitwick Moor, some beautiful churches, the River Flit, the site of a Monastic Grange, woods, moors, animals and were even invited back after the walk to the house of one of our first time walkers for coffee. Very much appreciated Dave!
Silsoe Church where we stopped and ate our lunch on the wall.
The River Flit is rich in iron ore and they used to take the water and bottle it as a tonic (do you fancy it?)
What, we are too early the pub isn't open!However on extending the walk to Silsoe we subsequently found one which was and provided us all with tea and coffees.
A small pond on Flitwick Moor.
They even provide some bridges to save walkers disappearing into either the river or some of the very boggy land if you stray off the path in Folly Wood.
Part of the path on Flitton Moor SSSI.Well worth doing. If you want to try it yourself, look up the Two Moors Heritage Trail.
