Overview

This is a picturesque part of Northamptonshire with ever-changing views across rolling countryside. This circular walk runs from Everdon to Preston Capes, both very attractive villages. A section of Mantles Heath Wood is included in the route, where there maybe a stunning display of bluebells (depending on the weather). We return down the hill towards the glorious valley of Snorescombe.
