The Walk - 3 1/2 miles of easy walking
Starting at Arlesey railway station walk down Old Oak Close to the junction next to the Old Oak public house.
Turn Left to walk back over the A507 bridge crossing the railway and River Hiz.
After crossing the railway and river, immediately Turn Left back on yourself at the bottom of the embankment and follow the metalled road back towards the railway.
Just before you reach the river Turn Left to pass under the A507. Once under the bridge, pass through a kissing gate - just before a weir - to enter a permissive access area along by the river.
Follow the river passing the lakes to your left. Follow the path until you reach a kissing gate. Turn Right and cross the bridge on the ditch following the path to the right.
Following the meadow, which is on your left, cross yet another bridge over a mainly dry ditch, and follow the path round to the left. At the kissing gate which joins a wide track (you are now joining the Kingfisher Way) you can either take a short cut back by going left towards the gatehouse, or proceed through the gate on your right and follow the track to a metalled road.
On joining the metalled road, you will enter Henlow Park proper with views of Henlow Grange on your right. Henlow Grange - home to the Gribble family (1896-1909). Philip Gribble, a renowned World War II correspondent.
Keep straight on past the house. When you get to the new entrance at a crossroad proceed straight across. You can, however, take another short cut left via Henlow village.
At the Kingfisher Way marking post, keep straight on; the Kingfisher Way bears round to the right at this point. Passing a school on your left, you leave the park via a remaining gate along the road, which also serves the school. Two more red brick gatehouses sit each side of the road a little further on.
As you walk along this section of road you will pass a housing estate on your left and the Boyd Memorial Campsite, home of the Biggleswade and District Scouts, on your right. The Grange was also a former home to Lord Boyd of Merton (1930s - 1950s) who, as Colonial Secretary, granted independence to many former British Colonies. In ancient times, it was the centre of Henlow Llanthony Manor. The house has been extensively extended to house a health and beauty complex but the old house with the clock tower and gates can be clearly distinguished.
On passing St Mary's church on your right, you will reach on your left the exit (one way to vehicular traffic only) to Park Lane. Note ahead the old village pump shelter and also the Five Bells public house, if you have a need for refreshment.
Enter Park Lane, facing the on coming traffic. Passing
Raynsford Lower School on your left, you will then come
across the Henlow playing fields and cricket pavilion.
Bear round to the left at
the junction into Coach
Road, After approximately
30 yards, look for the
finger post on the right
between the houses
which states footpath
to Arlesey Road. This
footpath along the back
of the houses is narrow
and can get overgrown.
At the end of this track,
on reaching a kissing gate with a catch you enter a
meadow, again this may be grazed by either sheep or
cattle. Head for a marker post which is slightly to the left
of the houses that you will see directly ahead.
On reaching this post, head for another post next to a field gate. Turn Left and follow the fence to a kissing gate in the corner of the meadow. Passing through the gate, you walk through the trees to the entrance to a Builders Merchants. Cross over the entrance and continue along a wooded path with views of the old gravel workings on your left. You then come to the red brick gatehouse next to one of the old entrances to the park from the A507.
Cross over the track and enter the permissive path section through the meadows following the fence on your right. Pass through the kissing gate, over the bridge on tht ditch, through another kissing gate and you will see the river gauging station directly ahead. On reaching the river, Turn Right to pass back under the A507 and retrace your steps back over the bridge to return to the station.
