Overview

From Hanslope, we walk to the village of Castlethorpe with its Norman castle earth works. We then cross the railway and the river Tove, to the Grand Union Canal.  Then north along the canal as far as the MK Boundary Walk; east back across the river and railway to Higham Cross; and then back south to return to Hanslope. 

Moderate pace via fields and farm tracks. It could be muddy in parts depending on the weather. There are several stiles to climb over; and some fields to cross with sheep.

Meet at the Hanslope Recreation Ground carpark on Castlethorpe Road.

Bring a packed lunch or snack.
