세인트 폴 월든‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪7‬개의 천연기념물

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.

Batford Spring Nature Reserve hosts a number of fresh springs that are the source for many chalk-lined streams and ponds. There are a network of footpaths that will lead you around the reserve past grasslands, woods and rivers.

Lovely views, and a trig point to bag

Thought to have been a key defence for the Iron Age Catuvellauni tribe against the invading Romans, Devil's Dyke is an impressive earthwork to the east of Wheathampstead. At 49 feet (15 m) deep, 131 feet (40 m) wide and 1,500 feet (460 m) long, it would have been a huge undertaking when constructed. This scheduled ancient monument is a delight to explore all year round. However, May is perhaps the best time to discover its charms, when the ground is carpeted by bluebells.

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

Great for children and dogs to wade into the river.

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

Batford Springs is a nature reserve with fresh springs that are the source for a network of chalk-lined streams and ponds. The River Lea flows through the reserve, which also has open grassland and a small wooded area to explore.
