Starting at Badby, a most attractive Northamptonshire village where charming cottages and houses cluster round tree-clad greens, this super little walk ventures out to Newnham on footpaths that follow the River Nene for part of the way. A quiet country lane, then a gated road allow some marvellous views over green and pleasant countryside before the final treat of walking in woodland. Badby Wood is a place of magical beauty, heavenly in the spring when hosts of vivid bluebells carpet vast areas, a truly stunning sight then, but wonderful at any time of year. The natural beauty and solace therein is a perfect remedy for the stresses of everyday life.
