Stone Age Walk, Dunstable Downs and Whipsnade Estate

Take a stroll through history. This walk will take you past Five Knolls; a series of ancient burial mounds which are thought to have been here for over 4,000 years.

A compact 4.5 km route ideal for a relaxed morning out. At an easy pace, plan for about 1 hour.

This route forms a near-complete loop: the start and finish are very close together, so only minimal transport is needed to get back. It combines the convenience of a circular walk with a slightly varied return.

This is a Local Walking Network (LWN) trail — a community-level route perfect for exploring the immediate surroundings, popular with locals and visitors alike.
