끝이 뾰족한 쐐기풀‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 산 정상

Nice views, worth the climb, even on a driech day!

Beautiful open, wide scapes, wide clear pathways with views all around.

Stunning vistas and view point of the rolling hills in the distance.

A wonderful peak offering sublime views across the surrounding countryside.

Well, blink, and you'll miss it, but the field enclosed by Gadmore Lane to the south and the continuation of Shire Lane to the west apparently contains Pavis Wood hill, which, at 250m, is apparently the County Top for Hertfordshire. I say the 'highest hill', but in fact the terrain is essentially a ridge which is actually remarkably flat, so it is hard to see any defined 'higher point'. But it is an achievement nonetheles ! The junction of Shire and Gadmore Lanes also includes a junction with a beautiful stretch of Ridgeway/Icknield Way, which can be used for a convenient and relatively flat return to Wendover.

The lion was carved into the hills overlooking Dunstable Downs close to Whipsnade Zoo in 1931-33. Some say it was to remind pilots not to fly too low when crossing the zoo so they didn't scare the animals, others that it was an elaborate advert. In 2017/18 the lion was refurbished with a donated 800 tonnes of chalk so now it can be appreciated from quite some distance.

Bring a snack and a drink and enjoy the view.

Can get a bit windy but you can hide behind one of the two pillar’s to have to lunch
