Overview

A 6 1/2 m countryside walk. We will be walking to the Brampton Valley Way (BVW) and crossing over to Draughton village. Following the Old Aerodrome road uphill to Loverose Way (the old airfield). Following Loverose Way (concrete road) to the the Harrington Aviation Museum. Where we will have our stop. 

From here we will skirt the A14 to reach the BVW. Using muddy paths and field edges. We will follow the BVW south to turn right after 650 metres and on our way back to Maidwell.  This stretch again can be muddy with deep farmers tracks. There are three stiles and livestock in some fields so assistance dogs only please.
