Interesting Interior with sculptures

You cant actually access the woods as there is no right of way but you can get a reasonably good view from the Bridleway and from the Eastern end of the wood.

These two buildings and their now-removed masts were responsible for navigating bombers across the channel in WW2.

The path up to the Church is very steep and slippery when wet

Pleasant little water crossing with the option to go around.

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

Views of Althorp House and Deer herd

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.

Memorial bench with inscription "In memory of the USA AF B-17 Bomber crew who lost their lives on December 15, 1944." The Norton B-17 On the 15th of December 1944 B-17G Flying Fortress 43-38973 of the 305th Bomb Group, 422nd Bombardment Squadron based at Chelveston was returning from a bombing mission over the mashalling yards at Kassel in Germany. It had been badly damaged and one engine was out. The aircraft managed to return from the raid but once over the coast it began to have difficulty in maintaining height. The problems were compounded by a complete blanket of fog over England. Not sure of their position they flew lower and lower and eventually collided with the Air Ministry GEE mast on Borough Hill Daventry. The port wing was severed during the collision and the aircraft crashed at Norton Fields killing the crew of nine. On August the 24th 2014 Sywell Aviation Museum carried out an excavation to locate the remains of the aircraft. All artefacts recovered during this excavation may be viewed in a special display within the museum. On the 24th of August 2015 a memorial service was held at the Daventry War Memorial and a plaque was unveiled to the crew by the son and grand daughter of the ball gun turret operator Sgt. Burry. The USAF was represented at the memorial service by Lieut.Col Ford, Commander of the 422nd Medical Squadron USAF from RAF Croughton and sir Tim Boswell, Deputy Lord Lieut. of Northamptonshire representing the county.

Nice little stop when hiking or riding the Grand Union canal just north of Weedon. There is also a nice commemorative bench close to grab a breath or two.

Quaint village and church with great views over the valley.
