グレンドンのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

2 hours

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

when I walked the path found the Nene Way way footpath overground with nettles and weeds making the trek less pleasant, did see nesting swans with signets on the river bank.

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.

I parked in the small parking area by the bridge near Hardwater Mill (free) but having walked along the road I would suggest avoiding this section. It would be better to start from the Summer Leys Nature reserve car park (paid) or the very small parking area in Mary's Lane (free) where it crosses the disused railway line.

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.
