Overview

Beautiful 11 miles circular walk in undulating Northamptonshire countryside. Fawsley, Preston Capes, Snorscomb, Everdon, Newnham, Badby.

The walk culminates with the bluebells in Badby Wood. A violet blue horizon comprising thousands of nodding bluebells assembled en masse on a woodland carpet. A feast of beauty wrought by mother nature that will hold your gaze. The first whisper of a summer yet to come. We will take advantage of bluebell cream teas or tea and cake served in Badby village hall every first Sunday in May and Bank Holiday Monday.
