Overview

 

The 31-mile/50km Around Corby route visits villages such as Gretton, Rockingham, Stanion and Brigstock which offer breathtaking views and numerous public houses to stop off at along the way and is the brainchild of local Ramblers member Mel Jarvis.

A 14-mile extension to the main route to the east of Corby connecting Brigstock to Gretton via Bulwick.
