HARLESTONE FIRS MURDER TRAIL | 4 MILES | MODERATE | NORTHANTS

January 14 @ 9:45 am - 12:30 pm GMT

Discover tales of a railway murder as we trundle through the delights of Harlestone Firs and the surrounding area.

🥾 ABOUT THE WALK 🥾

Start the new year with a refreshing 3.6-mile walk through the enchanting Harlestone Firs in Northamptonshire. This woodland wonderland offers a perfect mix of natural beauty and peaceful tranquillity, making it a delightful way to shake off the winter blues.

We’ll meander along well-trodden paths under the canopy of majestic fir trees, with opportunities to spot local wildlife and soak in the crisp January air. This route is ideal for walkers of all abilities, offering plenty of chances to chat, unwind, and reconnect with nature.

🌲 Why You’ll Love It:

  • A gentle distance, perfect for easing into the year.
  • A serene woodland setting with beautiful scenery.
  • Dog-friendly, so bring your four-legged friends!
  • A friendly group atmosphere to meet new people and share the joy of walking.

Join us at Harlestone Firs and kick-start 2025 with good vibes, great company, and a stunning walk in the countryside!
