Moderate trail for all to enjoy

Deacon Hill (172m), from which there are stunning views in essentially any direction (as long as you don't stare at your boots) is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (the summit area is rich in plant species, and there are birds here such as buzzards and numerous species of butterflies, too). There is a bench to sit on as well. The hill is a gorgeous place to be and marvel at the beauty of the world.

Coming out of the woods on the Chiltern Way here will provide you with an absolutely stunning view of the countryside down below and, right next to you, of the Knocking Hoe National Nature Reserve. This is chalk grassland, supporting rare plants such as moon carrot and field fleawort. There is a viewing platform nearby with some information about the reserve too.

Lovely views, and a trig point to bag

A great hilltop with wonderful views around.

A local legend! Steep and straight, you'll know you've been up a hill! Great views from the top though.

For Bedfordshire one of the must do hills (brutal).

This area of the Bedfordshire Hertfordshire border is excellent walking country. You will find areas of SSI and history from pre bronze age. There are Hill Forts, Round and Long Barrows, Terracing and Earthworks. Nummerous lime pits on the chalk up lands which were used for lime both for building and farming. Evidence of roman occupation and local resistance. The area is crossed by the Icknield Way probably the oldest route in the UK Check my website for many other walks and details of walking in this area of the Chilterns https://imcintosh.com/walking-north-herts-and-south-beds
