Nice flat walk. quite corner of the nature

Pitsford Dam is an expansive reservoir surrounded by countryside. It was completed in the 1950s and serves as a vital water supply for the region. There are walking and cycling paths surrounding the lake and lots of beautiful landscaps and wildlife.

Ravensthorpe reservoir and weir was built in 1890 to supply water to Northampton. Today you can wander around the beautiful water source and enjoy bird-watching, fishing, or just an opportunity to get some fresh air.

Idyllic spot for a picnic as well as a regular hang-out spot for some of our feathered friends such as geese and swans, and some rarer species such as the ring-necked duck and common crane.

Great gravel path, perfect place to bring the kids for a bike ride

Nicely updated gravel paths run between the fishing lakes and form part of the updated walking and cycles paths of Upton Country Park.

Handy parking at the far end of the Reservoir gives easy access from the sixfields leisure park where there are numerous food outlets. From here you can also connect with the Northampton canal which takes you further into town or towards Hatton and Weedon Bec in the other direction.
