Meeting opposite Cottesbrooke church, the route takes us through the village and out towards Haselbech in the Northamptonshire Himalayas. We turn right to walk towards Maidwell, enjoying good southerly views (weather permitting) of Northampton. We turn right again, walking past Blueberry Lodge back towards Cottesbrooke before taking a final right turn to walk back into the village past Cottesbrooke Hall.
Car parking on the road near the church.
The roads we use are single track and normally quiet. There are a couple of sections which are quite narrow.
There are two fairly short field sections where mud may be encountered, otherwise all hard surfaces. Maybe some sheep so RA dogs only, please. No cattle or stiles.
No refreshments available in Cottesbrooke but The Coach and Horses or The George in nearby Brixworth offer lunchtime food and drink.
