Overview

Starting at the Brampton valley car park at Draughton crossing, just outside Maidwell, in the morning our walk will take us on scenic field paths with views across north Northamptonshire countryside, before heading to Lamport. 

We'll stop en route to eat our packed lunch, before stopping for a drink at The Swan Pub in Lamport. In the afternoon we'll follow field paths to Draughton, and return to our starting point. There's an option for a drink at the Stags Head in Maidwell after the walk.
