Kettering to Corby
A station-to-station walkNorthamptonshireEast Midlands
A varied, relatively flat route taking in residential and industrial streets, a riverside walk along the River Ise, estate parkland with grazing sheep, wildflower meadows, quiet villages and fields and woodland. Some field paths are unmarked and faint; the woodland section can be muddy after rain. Passes the pretty stone village of Weekley with its thatched cottages and almshouse, and Geddington with its Eleanor Cross. Red kites overhead and Muntjac deer were seen along the way.
1 lunch spot: the Star Inn
Warnings: Several unmarked field paths can be hard to follow; the road out of Geddington is small but surprisingly busy; cattle with calves were encountered on the path near Little Oakley (Featherbed Lane is recommended as an easier alternative); a number of gates and stiles. Can be muddy.
