Canal Views, Countryside Charm, and a Climb to Gayton followed by a festive Christmas lunch.� ABOUT THE WALK �
Join us for a scenic and moderately challenging walk, beginning at The Walnut Tree Inn and leading onto the peaceful Grand Union Canal. Here, you'll enjoy spotting wildlife and admiring the colourful narrowboats as we stroll along the towpath. Brace yourself for a refreshing uphill climb to the charming village of Gayton, followed by a trail through stunning open countryside and quaint hamlets. We’ll pass by an old railway line once used for ironstone transport, before a gentle descent along a quiet lane back to The Walnut Tree. Look out for ‘hedgerow windows’ offering fantastic views across Northamptonshire along the way.
After the walk, you have the option to stop for lunch at The Walnut Tree Inn. Please note: small dogs only, as there are stiles on the route, and dogs are not allowed inside the pub.
� ROUND-ROBIN QUESTION: It's Make a Gift Day - have you ever made, or received, a gift?
Please arrive by 9.45 am we will set off at 10 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.
