Local Dog Walks

Old Train Line Walk Brixworth
I Highly Recommend This Walk! Spratton Rd Northampton Lancashire NN6 9DT 3.51 miles It Is Located Between Spratton And Brixworth. As There Aren’T Really And Other Locations On That Road, It Isn’T Hard To Miss And The Car Park Is Straight Off The Road. The Post Code I Believe Is, Nn6 9Dt

Location what3words ember.breathy.increased

Sywell Country Park
This Lovely Walk Is Around A Reservoir And Takes About An Hour And A Half To Complete. It Has The Water One Side Of The Path And On The Other Is Fields Which Are Fenced Off. There Are Gateways Throughout Separating The Walk Into Sections, Which Is Good For Dogs That Don't Like To Come Back!! There's A Café At The Entrance, A Kids Play Area (Dogs Not Allowed In There), And Poo Bins Around The Site So That You Don't Have To Carry The Bags All The Way Around. Parking Is £3 At The Moment.

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. Heathgate Cottages Harlestone Rd Northampton Lancashire NN5 6UJ 6.25 miles It'S Literally Opposit Harlestone Heath Garden Centre, Which Postcode Is The Same As The Walk (Nn5 6Uj)

Kelmarsh Tunnels
Brought Oscar My Dog Here For The First Time Today. (17/8/20) Nice Walk Although The Tunnel Itself Was A Bit Mucky And Slippery Which Is To Be Expected Due To The Weather. Word Of Advice...If You’Re Visiting After A Prolonged Or Heavy Rainfall, Do Wear Suitable Footwear. Also Being A Good Strong Beamed Torch Too. We Enjoyed It And Will Be Back To Explore Further.
