The route passes by pubs at Charwelton and Newnham, and I believe there is a pub a short way from the route in Badby if you need refreshments. After reaching the top of the Down, the route then descends again as it skirts through the pretty Badby Woods, and then finally into the village of Badby. The route then climbs again out of the pretty village of Newnham towards the highest point of the walk - Newnham Hill Radio Mast....

I walked this from Daventry to Fawsley Hall on a warm Christmas Eve (so not the whole section, winter, and a bit muddy)....

The route when you pass the farm is impassable onto the Fosse, instead go through the gate on the left and follow the Millenium Way to meet the Fosse and turn right to rejoin the route The path out of Priors Hardwick is difficult to find and I would suggest a short detour into Priors Hardwick by turning right at the church then shortly left to rejoin the route...

After crossing the canal feeder (photo 3), you have to look carefully for the short route through the overgrown copse (photo 4). On the route towards Priors Hardwick, you approach a farm with a poorly maintained stile (photo 6). The route on the other side of the farm follows a hedge and is supposed to come out onto the Welsh Road. You have to then look carefully for the route out of Priors Hardwick, as when we did the route it wasn't that obvious as it seemed to cut through a back garden. After walking down the escarpment around an old derelict barn, the route takes you diagonally through a small section of woodland towards Bennet's Barn Farm....
