We are the Northampton Group (Ramblers Northampton). We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

Starting from the Sun Inn in the middle of Kislingbury, we'll walk through the alleyways that interconnect parts of the village leaving via Camp Lane to enter Upton Country Park. At the end of the Camp Lane track we'll head south towards the new commercial development outside Pineham. We'll continue along a new road for a couple of hundred yards to reach a track that takes us alongside the Northampton Arm to Lock 14 where we will cross a bridge. We'll then walk north along the canal towpath for about a mile before crossing some footbridges to head towards the site of Duston Mill and then on towards Sixfields. Just south of Sixfields we'll cross the Upton Valley Way and then head through the newish Upton Estate to Upton Hall Farm. We will then head south along Upton Lane before picking up the diverted Nene Way to skirt the new housing development and then continue into Kislingbury via a footbridge over the River Nene.
There are NO Stiles. There is one 2 feet high wall to step over in the middle of Kislingbury.
Start outside the Sun Inn. Parking is limited in the village so please park with consideration for the local residents. There is limited parking at the pub so please only park there if you are going to patronise the pub after the walk.
