A beatiful place for a dog walk and some fresh air

Nice area for taking a stroll or cycling. Plenty of nature.

A gem of a nature reserve with several access points. Park your car at the bend of Mill Lane leading to the backside of Riverside Retail centre and walk up the barrier road leading to a concealed boating marina and by an almost hidden narrow path opening onto Weston Favell Lock and then across the flood lock bridge to the rim of the basin itself. Beautiful vistas all around.

Lovely place to walk, about 5kilometres around. Great views of Great Houghton and Whitson church on one side, and Northampton on the other.

Great place for a walk, picnic or day out with kids/ dogs. One may also like it for cycling or an evening run. The site is accessible through the Hilton and offers free parking.

This place is not wheelchair friendly though.

Lovely quiet walk. Dogs need to be onlead if there are sheep or if like mine want to chase the wildlife. There's a few dog bins dotted around so you can dispose of any mess
