Overview

The Walk heads North and North East towards Yarwell Mill where we will stop for coffee, then over farm tracks to the east of the river before joining it again near Elton. We cross the river and then walk down past several locks to finally meet The Nene Way which takes us back to Fotheringhay Castle.

Total Elevation climb is only 178ft and 2 stiles.

Fotheringhay is famous for its Church Spire built in 1430 which is octagonal in shape. The walk will also pass Fotheringhay Castle, famous for being the birth place of Richard III, and the final imprisonment and execution place for Mary Queen of Scots.
