Description

The Sharpenhoe group of properties comprises four adjacent countryside areas to the north of Luton. These are (from west to east) Sundon Hills, Moleskin and Markham Hills, Sharpenhoe Clappers and Smithcombe Hills. Reputedly haunted, Sharpenhoe Clappers is a classic chalk escarpment and part of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

It is crowned with traces of an Iron Age hill-fort and an impressive beech wood. If you have time, seek out the old chalk quarry and savour the views along the ridge of hills. In summer you can walk through the mass of flowers and butterflies in the quarry itself.
