Overview

Starting from Shutlanger we will walk past horses and canals to Blisworth and Milton Malsor.  Heading back towards Blisworth we skirt the new rail freight terminal and cross the west coast mainline before stopping at Briary Barn cafe for lunch.  After lunch we go back in time again, crossing a disused railway before seeing the canal at Stoke Bruerne and heading back to Shutlanger.
