Clophill LakesThe Greensand Trust is delighted to offer a new Nature Reserve at Clophill Lakes featuring otters, sand martins and colourful dragonflies in the wetlands, and skylarks and wildflowers in the grassland areas. We are now open daily (9am to 6pm) providing public access in a sensitive and sustainable manner which conserves and enhances these emerging habitats, whilst enabling visitors to share in the benefits this very special environment provides.

Distances vary from 3-9 miles per walk, and it's a great way to discover the walk if you haven't walked it before, or a different way to enjoy it if you're familiar with the route. This walk will be a 6.75 mile guided walk. Meet/park at Clophill Lakes Nature Reserve and coach transport will be provided to the walk start point in Ampthill. We will then walk back along the Greensand Ridge Walk via Clophill village to Clophill Lakes where the cars are parked. Parking available at Clophill Lakes Nature Reserve. Normal rates apply, see here for more information. More information: Due to coach travel restrictions, dogs are not permitted. Unfortunately the route is not suitable for wheelchairs or buggies. The walks will only be able to go ahead if enough tickets are sold to cover the cost of the transportation. Should we not sell sufficient tickets to cover the costs, we will have to cancel the event and tickets will be refunded. If the walks do go ahead, tickets are only refundable if there is someone on the waiting list able to take your place. The walk will go through typical Greensand Country landscapes, hence toilets will be few and far between. Under 18s welcome if accompanied by an adult.
