Overview

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.
