Overview

Heading out along the road through Norton, we cut across the fields to Welton, where we will stop for lunch. If we're not too early we can nip into The White Horse pub for a drink afterwards. (Please note there will not be time to order food at the pub, so please ensure you bring something with you).

Upon leaving Welton we will head towards Long Buckby Wharf, and head down the canal back to the Heart of The Shires.

There are about 4 stiles on this walk, 2 of which are very tall, so dog owners will need to be able to lift dogs over. The 1867 coffee shop is highly recommended for a drink and cake afterwards if they have tables available.
