Where countryside charm meets canal-side serenity – let's walk and explore together!"� 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. ��
