Northamptonshire is one of England's hidden gems. It offers a wealth of beautiful undulating countryside and a fascinating history.

As Nordic Walking Instructors in this fabulous location, we risk assess many walks & as we are very proud of our surroundings, we would like to share some of these walks with you.

Commencing at the Old Dairy Farm in Upper Stowe, we cross to the village of Church Stowe passing a number of small lakes. We pick up the canal towpath where we then trek for approx 3.5 miles along fairly flat terrain looking out for Heron, Kingfisher, Swans, various duck & geese varieties, with lots of young in tow in Spring & early summer. We leave the tow path near Bugbrooke & start climing back across fields towards Upper Stowe. Although slightly longer than some of our walks the main part of the walk is fairly flat, although we do climb up a moderate incline once leaving the towpath.
