Help connect Wellingborough

Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.

Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.

Give a hike and help get a for every one of Wellingborough’s Slow Ways.

Latest Updates

A better - quieter, shorter and safer - start to this walk would be to use the Greenway that connects Rushden High Street with Rushden Lakes. Once into Rushden Lakes the walk is surrounded by greenery and water until the outskirts of Wellingborough. Some of the paths are narrow and can be muddy so probably only suitable for a serious off-road cyclist....

Walk this route

Off-road vehicles use the by-way next to the railway line which disturbs the peace and also churns up the ground. Not very pretty, but a good link to other, more picturesque, routes out of Burton Latimer....
