Welcome to Long Buckby Wharf

Long Buckby Wharf is a small village located in the county of Northamptonshire, England. The village is situated on the Grand Union Canal, which was once a major transportation route for goods and people. The canal is still in use today, and Long Buckby Wharf is a popular destination for boaters and walkers who enjoy the peaceful surroundings and scenic views.

The village has a rich history, dating back to the 18th century when the canal was first built. The wharf was an important hub for the transportation of goods such as coal, timber, and iron. The village grew around the wharf, and many of the original buildings still stand today. Visitors can explore the historic buildings and learn about the village's past at the Long Buckby Wharf Heritage Centre.

Today, Long Buckby Wharf is a popular destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, and there are many walking and cycling routes to explore. The canal is also a popular spot for fishing, and there are several pubs and restaurants in the village where visitors can enjoy a meal or a drink while taking in the picturesque surroundings.

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 5.74 miles It'S Literally Opposit Harlestone Heath Garden Centre, Which Postcode Is The Same As The Walk (Nn5 6Uj)

I Highly Recommend This Walk! Spratton Rd Northampton Lancashire NN6 9DT 7.04 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

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. Kelmarsh Tunnels Lancashire 10.66 miles From Corby To Braybrook Then Follow A6

Kelmarsh Tunnels
Kelmarsh Tunnel Is Now A Disused Railway In Northamptonshire. It’S A Beautiful Walk To The Tunnels. You Don’T Have To Go Through Them, You Can Go Over Them :). It’S Also A Lovely Walk From Kelmarsh To Market Harborougj. Dogs Can Be Of Lead As Well, Just Watch Out For Cyclists! Oxendon Rd Market Lancashire HARBOROUGH LE16 11.48 miles If You Are Travelling From Desborough It Is Best To Go Through Arthingworth. When Driving Down You Will See A Bridge, Just Before The Bridge You Will See A Car Park On Your Right. That’S Where I Would Recommend Parking As It Is The Start Of The Walk.
