Now in it’s twelfth year, the Bartlow
Three-Counties Charity Walk is a family-fun sponsored walk on Sunday 3rd
May in support of Addenbrooke’s Palliative Care, Linton Health Centre and the Bartlow
Church Restoration Fund. The walk starts at 10am in the Paddock, Bartlow, with
registration open from 9.30 – 11.30am and 10am-2pm for the Nature Trail.
The Bartlow Three-Counties Charity Walk
is thrilled to welcome Dr Keith McNeil, Chief Executive of Cambridge University
Hospitals, to officially start this year’s walk and take part himself. We are
also pleased to announce that our main sponsor is Art of Clean, your first
choice for furniture and soft furnishing care in Cambridgeshire.
In it’s eleven years, the Bartlow Three
Counties Charity Walk has raised £108,000 for local causes, which has funded
numerous projects at Linton Health Centre and Addenbrookes hospital and has
allowed the restoration of Bartlow’s historic church, where the medieval wall
paintings were given a new lease of life in Summer 2014.
With the routes reviewed for 2015, we
offer four walks through beautiful local countryside, taking in Europe’s
largest Iron Age Roman burial site at the Bartlow Hills. For those wanting a
challenge, the established 13-mile route will take walkers to the point where
Cambridgeshire, Suffolk and Essex meet, while the shorter 6 and 9 mile routes make
stimulating walks for all. For the young and young at heart, we also offer the
popular mile-long Nature Trail. These walks are almost entirely off-road, well
signed and only available through special agreement with local landowners,
making them unique to the Bartlow Three-Counties Charity Walk. Dogs are welcome
on all walks but must be kept on a lead at all times. Refreshments and
entertainment for all the family are available in the Bartlow Paddock
throughout the day.
This is a sponsored charity walk and we
encourage walkers to raise as much sponsorship as possible in support of
Addenbrooke’s Palliative Care, Linton Health Centre and Bartlow Church
Restoration. However, if you would prefer to pay on the day, minimum ‘on the
day’ self-sponsorship, with free parking included, is £10 per adult and £5 per
child (4-12 yrs) for the 13, 9 and 6 mile routes. The Nature Trail is £5 for
everyone but under 4’s walk free.
The Bartlow Three-counties Charity Walk
is always a memorable event for all the family and we look forward to welcoming
walkers of all abilities on Sunday 3rd May. For further information,
