Pegsdon and Barton Hills are an example of chalk downland and offer stunning views over Bedfordshire.
The Barton Hills are believed to be John Bunyan's 'Delectable Mountains' in The Pilgrim's Progress. The Wildlife Trust and English Nature manage the two nature reserves, with their spectacular steep slopes and chalk valleys. The woodlands and streams offer rare flowers and butterflies not usually seen in other parts of Bedfordshire.
The walk starts and finishes in the village of Hexton next to the Raven Pub, nestled in a favourable position below the remains of the hill-fort of Ravensburgh Castle. The latter is viewed from a distance and is striking for its commanding position, although all that remains are earth mounds and thick tree growth. It all adds to an almost dark, supernatural air to the surroundings. The hills make this one of the most exciting walks in Bedfordshire.

One of the best walks local
Excellent country side
Lovely valleys
Must do this walk ...
Love the editing. I'm going to do this walk today!
Still love coming back and watching these videos...I've walked this route quite a few times now, and more recently have added Lilley and Ravensburgh Castle into my journey. I usually start from Hexton Road car park and do a circular of the whole lot, covering about 12 miles :-)
Thanks Matt!
Fantastic. I was born in Barton
good place for a gret these hills
Thankfully those cows looked pretty content... :)
@queerfish79 Hi, thanks for viewing my video! Yes all the walks are filmed on my own, setting up the camera position each time. The walk ends up being 2 or 3 times as long and exhausting! Maps are digitised maps from online, I use Final Cut Studio to edit and animate graphics. Time consuming, but very enjoyable!
it's like a bbc 2 docu
Thank you Clare..
What does his shirt say?
Excellent Video, I walked the Pegsdon and Barton Hills last week. Would recommend. I enjoyed your style of filmaking. For the Walking towards and away shots did you set up the camera on a mini tripod on floor level? How difficult is it to film the o/s map and put on your route details. I am planning to do films on all the National Trails over the next few years so any tips would help.
I use a small/medium JollyPod and a much larger tripod to get the various angles. OS mapping graphics were composited in FCPX & Motion.
could you give us an overview of icknield way and it's history
When I next do a walk there, I shall! Thank you for watching.
@boondoggle6 Thank you :)
