AROUND THE WALNUT TREE | 5 MILES | BLISWORTH | NORTHANTS
January 25 @ 8:45 am - 11:30 am GMT
🥾 ABOUT THE WALK 🥾
Discover the Beauty of Gayton: A Scenic Countryside Walk
Join us for a delightful 5-mile adventure starting at The Walnut Tree Inn, perfect for those who love a mix of nature, history, and stunning views. Our journey begins along the tranquil Grand Union Canal, where we’ll spot wildlife and admire the vibrant narrowboats that bring the towpath to life.
Next, we’ll tackle a refreshing uphill stretch to the picturesque village of Gayton, before wandering through breathtaking open countryside and quaint hamlets. Along the way, we’ll pass an old railway line that once carried ironstone, a relic of local history. As we descend along a quiet lane back to The Walnut Tree, be sure to take in the unique ‘hedgerow windows’ that frame incredible views of the Northamptonshire landscape.
This walk is moderately challenging, but full of variety and charm – an ideal way to embrace the great outdoors! Don’t forget to stay for a coffee or a bite to eat at The Walnut Tree afterwards. ☕🍴
❓ ROUND-ROBIN QUESTION: Have you ever been on a narrowboat? 🚤✨
Please arrive by 8.45 am we will set off at 9 am sharp. If this is your first AG walk, then please arrive nice and early and seek out the walk leader who will be wearing a red “walk leader” pin badge.
