Welcome to Cold Higham

Cold Higham is a small village located in the county of Northamptonshire, England. The village is situated on the A5 road, which was once an important Roman road connecting London to Holyhead. The village has a population of around 300 people and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village is known for its historic church, St. Luke's, which dates back to the 13th century.

The village of Cold Higham has a rich history, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Bronze Age. The village was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it was recorded as "Hegham". The village was once a thriving market town, with a weekly market and an annual fair. However, the market and fair were discontinued in the 19th century, and the village became a quiet rural community.

Today, Cold Higham is a peaceful and picturesque village, with a strong sense of community. The village has a primary school, a village hall, and a pub, The Royal Oak. The surrounding countryside is popular with walkers and cyclists, with many footpaths and bridleways to explore. The village is also within easy reach of the towns of Towcester and Daventry, which offer a range of amenities and services.

Harlestone Firs
There Are So Many Different Trails To Choose From. Some Are Pathed Others Are Off Path And Through The Woods. It Does Say To Keep Dogs On The Lead, But No One Actually Does. However, There Is A Likely Chance There Will Be Horses And Cyclists On The Route So You Probably Will Have To Put Dogs On The Lead In Those Situations.

Bancroft Park
This Is A Nice 1 Hour Walk, Plenty Of Friendly Dogs And Owners Allow Socializing. There Is A Roman Villa To Look Around, The Gravel Path Leads Around A Stream And Meadow Area. At The Bradwell End You Can Walk Up To The Concrete Cows, Although If Your Dog(S) Aren't Used To Being Off Leash Then Put Them On The Lead At That Point Due To A Busy Dual Carriageway (Monks Way). If You Continued Under Monks Way, You Can Follow The Redway To Bradwell Abbey, A Norman Abbey With A Chapel Still Standing. Back Toward Bancroft There Is A Small Wooded Area Following The Railway Back Into The Park. Squirrels, Rabbits, Jays, Woodpeckers And Other Birds Can Be Seen/Heard.
