キャッスルアッシュビーでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

2 hours

Steep but great views from the top! Makes a great circular walk with the Nene Valley Way.

Coming down the bridleway from either side brings you to a fford crossing. Surface below the water is loose gravel & pebbles, water depth varies dependent on rainfall (anywhere between 6 to 10 inches) but it is passable on a bike with care. E-bikers may wish to exercise caution!! There is a sketchy stepping stone footbridge off the the side if you don't fancy getting wet feet!

If you don't fancy the stepping stones - Coming from the West, go straight on from Jerusalem steps or right from the bridleway, over the bridge (highlighted) then immediately left along the field edge. Coming from Whiston go left just before the ford (you will see the track) and follow the field edge until you get to the bridge then cross the stream there.

Lovely cafe serving a good variety of coffee, cake, breakfast and lunch. Plenty of seating inside and out.

Gentle hill climb, good view of the Castle and a nice coffee and cake at the cafe Little shops nice to look round too

The ford is too deep to paddle through in walking boots but there are some rather tricky stepping stones to one side that you can use to get across.

Good service and plenty of space (especially outdoors). Great cycling area!
