Walk in the country

The walk is in total just over 1 hour split into 2 halves.

We meet at Wellingborough Embankment Car Park post code NN8 1LD at 10.20 for a 10.30 departure. We then walk along the River Nene to Chester House. There is a short hill to Chester House but a choice of routes so you can choose how gradual or steep you want it. Coffee and cake at Chester House café and then return to the cars along the River.

In total I expect the trip to be about 2 hours.

Footwear should be able to cope with a bit of mud but not deep mud or water.

Please email Jane Frsyth if you would like to go on the walk. Preferably by 20th March.

North Northamptonshire Council (formally Northamptonshire County Council) purchased the site in 2004 and secured grant funding through working with the National Lottery Heritage Fund to develop a sustainable visitor destination with access for the public to learn about the history and heritage, as well as becoming the location to house countywide archaeological finds.

The Chester House Estate is overseen by North Northamptonshire Council who have a clear vision on the future of the site.

The Chester House Estate is a nationally significant heritage site, being one of the few places in the country which can demonstrate over 10,000 years of human activity. The unique selling point of The Chester House Estate is summed up in the words "10,000 years of Northamptonshire’s heritage brought to life".
