ティフィールドでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Take a break, read or swap books at the Acorn Barn.

Friendly staff. Cracking selection for a cyclist on a long ride on the A5.

Great trail down to towpath, bit technical but great fun 👍

Built in 1805, Blisworth Tunnel is the longest navigable canal tunnel in the country at 1.7 miles (2.8 km). This also makes it the ninth longest in the world. There is no towpath through the tunnel, though there is enough space for two narrowboats to pass each other.

Just south of Northampton, Blisworth is a pleasant village on the Grand Union Canal. It has long been associated with rail travel and a station was built here for the London to Birmingham line, as well as a majestic arched bridge, designed by Robert Stephenson. The station has since gone but the West Coast Mainline passes close to the village. As well as the canal's towpath, nearby Salcey Forest will also interest walkers. There are a range of facilities and three waymarked walking trails that explore the woodland.

Tucked just behind the shops on Chantry lane, the Gothic Medieval church of St Lawrence provides an area of calm reflection away from the bustle of town. The ancient grounds (dating back to at least 921 AD) are well maintained and contain a number of old trees, the Yew being especially old.

Be on the lookout for muntjack deer! I have seen these here a couple of times, mainly towards the main road end of the park, near the river banks in the taller shrubs and grasses.

Lovely quiet spot just off Towcesters main Street and not far from the central shops. well maintained paths and lots of grassed areas make it a nice place to get away from the centre of Towcester.
