Some of the houses on the walk between Rushden and Higham, or back again, are quite nice to look at and there are plenty of leafy trees during part of the Rushden portion of the walk. The hills aren't too steep and you can take a pushchair. Some of the pavements could be better but there are cafes at either end....
