Olney - Yardley 13 Mile circular walk

This circular walk, starting and finishing in the Pretty, historic market town of Olney, takes us to the north of the town following ancient footpaths, lanes and bridleways into Northamptonshire through some beautiful villages, countryside and woodland.

What to Expect

A 13 mile walk mainly on good tracks and small lanes, some tracks may be uneven and a little overgrown in places. There will be rolling hills but no steep climbs, total ascent of 700ft and we will maintain a pace of just over 3mph throughout the walk.

This is a pleasant, but reasonably challenging walk due to the distance and will be suitable for anyone with a moderate to good standard of walking fitness.

If you are a first timer, please read the 'About us...' section on the homepage before signing up for this walk, ensuring appropriate fitness and suitability.

If you can't make the walk, please change your RSVP in plenty of time to allow others to attend.
