This is a four village walk starting from Bugbrooke to Nether Heyford, Church Stowe and Upper Stowe, a picturesque circular walk linking these charming villages together. The outward journey follows the Nene Way footpath to Nether Heyford before a short stretch along one of the prettiest sections by the Grand Union Canal. The route then climbs away from the canal to Church Stowe and Upper Stowe providing extensive views over the beautiful surrounding countryside.
Meet in the car park next to St Michael & All Angels church, Church Lane, Bugbrooke NN7 3RG.
This is a hilly part of Northamptonshire, the Stowes occupy high ground overlooking beautiful countryside.
Livestock in fields so assistance dogs only please.
8 stiles to climb.
The Wharf in Bugbrooke is permanently closed, however I can recommend The Narrow Boat at Weedon, for drinks/meals after the walk - Watling Street (A5) Stowehill NN7 4RZ
