The Kingfisher Way

A 21 mile (34km) walk following the course of the River Ivel from its source at Ivel Springs in Baldock, through the towns and villages of the Ivel valley, to the River Great Ouse at Tempsford.

The route provides a perfect introduction to the countryside, wildlife and history of the Ivel valley. With a bit of luck, you may even be treated to a display from one of the many kingfishers resident on the river! The route has been divided into 3 sections between the valley's railway stations, enabling you to undertake the walk in stages or as a whole.

The walk is next to the Stotfold Mill Meadows Nature area.
