Overview

This interesting circular walk offers varied scenery with mixed woodlands, parkland, lakes and is particularly beautiful alongside the River Nene.

We start from Hardingstone village, then make our way across a park into Delapre woods, emerging into Delapre park.  The circuit takes in Delapre Abbey, winding it's way through an oak wood, eventually arriving at the University of Northampton.  

We will be walking alongside the River Nene as far as the beginning of the Washlands.

The return skirts Delapre lake, and golf course.
