The Routes
Little Hampden Trail 10K

The trail just behind the information desk and continues around the back of the Café and out on the gravel track. There is a long climb as you approach the back of the Hill Fort.

This wonderful out and back loop starts on the canal path. It continues alongside the canal which is a haven for wildlife and the water is amazingly clear due to the chalk bed rock. As you reach Halton, leave the canal and loop back through Halton. As you pass RAF Halton, pick up the footpath which takes you around the outside of the football fields and back onto the trail through the fields. When you reach the old railway embankment, turn right, over a single file wooden bridge and back onto the canal path for a quick dash to the finish.

Bacombe Hill
The chalky soils of Bacombe Hill provide perfect conditions for wildlife to thrive.
