Overview

We set off along the canal towpath through the countryside south of Bugbrooke and turn north through part of the village, heading for the Bugbrooke Mills/Heygates.  We then follow the Nene Way through lovely meadowland to the green at Nether Heyford. We return to Bugbrooke through a series of small fields.
