The Sharpenhoe group of properties comprises four adjacent countryside areas to the north of Luton.
Sundon Hills has a lovely picnic area, with benches provided, or you can bring a blanket and sit on the grass. Reputedly haunted, Sharpenhoe Clappers is a classic chalk escarpment and part of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is crowned with traces of an Iron Age hill fort and an impressive beech wood. Seek out the old chalk quarry and enjoy the views along the ridge of hills. In summer, walk through a mass of flowers and butterflies in the quarry itself.
Admission free.
