At the end of the route before sunset, we found this part of the lake where the views were amazing. Take time to sit and enjoy. There are so many benches on this part.

We did the 3.63 mile loop from Harrold Odell county park. It's a fab park and route, although you'll need wellies after a wet winter! There is also a lot of farmland in the area and we heard bird scarers almost the whole way round, even walking through the village, so if you're bringing a dog with a noise aversion, you may want to keep them on the lead.

Set on the banks of the River Great Ouse, it is surrounded by pleasant trails in lovely countryside. It is within walking distance of the beautiful Harrold-Odell Country Park and its two gorgeous lakes. Also worth exploring are the pockets of woodland that surround the village and the Felmersham Gravel Pits, which boasts a rich diversity of wetland and grassland.
