About us
Walking in and around Northamptonshire
Welcome! We are a group of working age people from in and around Northamptonshire who enjoy walking and socialising together. Our walks take place on Sundays, around two weekends a month. New members are warmly welcomed, so if you’re new to the area, looking to extend your social circle or would like someone else to take the map-reading strain, please come along and give us a go!
Our walking community
Our walks are free and led by an experienced, volunteer walk leader. Typically, we’ll walk 8 – 10 miles each walk, although we do offer shorter walks on a regular basis. We usually start walking at 10.30am in the morning, finishing around 3pm.
Our routes take us on field paths linking the beautiful villages and waterways of Northamptonshire, stopping for a welcome rest and a drink in a local pub along the way whenever the route allows.
In the summer we often venture further afield such as the Cotswolds, the Chilterns and the Peak District and also plan local evening walks. We also organise regular social events and trips away.
We publish an outline walks schedule on our Facebook page, and aim to publish more details around a month before the walk takes place on Facebook, MeetUp and the Go walking section Ramblers Walk Finder.

Local Walk - Stowe, 8 miles, walk leader Kev
Stowe National Trust, Buckingham, Buckinghamshire, MK18 5EQ, GBMeet at the Stowe Gardens Corinthian Arch ready for a 10:30am start. The arch is close to the car park, which I understand to be free (even if not a National Trust member).
The walk will head in a clockwise direction around the perimeter of Stowe Park then head off towards Akeley. We will most probably stop at the Bull & Butcher here for a drink. The walk then heads South through Maids Moreton and back across to the starting point.
