A linear walk along the Grand Union canal to Northampton station
We start with a mile along Three Bridges Road taking us to Long Buckby Wharf on the Grand Union Canal. From there, heading along the GUC to Gayton Junction, where we turn onto the Northampton Arm and head down the 17 locks into the town, to where the canal joins the River Nene. From here it is a short walk to Northampton station.
General Notes
Whilst the walk passes a number of marinas, there are very few opportunities to replenish supplies, so it is advisable to have enough food and drink with you for the full walk.
Joint walk with the BBN group
