Woburn Park and Eversholt

This 12.9km walk started in Woburn and involved a lot of time walking through the estate of Woburn Abbey and the deer park. Half-way half-pint was at the Green Man in Eversholt. It was a fantastically varied walk with fields, open grasslands, woodland and views of lakes. Lots of deer pictures below. The pathfinder book says that this "must rank as one of the great classic walks of Bedfordshire".
