ハーレストーンでの 周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Watch out for the ants in summer!

The area is great, lots of paths and variety, but the route given sticks to busy roads where you have to keep your dog on a lead. It also directs you down a private drive with no public right of way. Come to the area and follow your nose, not this route.

The Fox & Hounds pub in the heart of Harlestone has beautiful interiors, great food, and a relaxing beer garden.

Pleasant little water crossing with the option to go around.

Beautiful 14th century church with a tower dating back to the 12th century.

This area allways seems to be very muddy - even in summer

The Northamptonshire village of Harlestone has lots to offer walkers and lovers of the outdoors. The village is made up of two settlements, Upper and Lower Harlestone, and has a golf course, a heath and a woodland, Harlestone Firs. Much of the land is owned by the nearby Althorp Estate, the childhood home of Princess Diana.

Great for a walk with the dog, with friends or just on your tod. There are miles of criss-crossing paths to explore with access to the golf course on the far side (away from main entrance). There is roadside parking in front of the main entrance, though this can get full quickly on a nice day or at the weekend. An ice cream van parks here most busy days, selling the local Gallone's ice cream, along with all the classics. You can also visit the garden centre 328 feet (100 m) down from the forest entrance, where there is a cafe, shops and toilets.
