Nene Wetlands Nature Reserve
Nature preserve
👍 Nicely located behind the Shopping centre, this nature reserve and trail is just the anecdote needed when the other halves are busy shopping.

Great Merrible Wood

👍👍 Lovely woods, even though we visited on a grey winter's day, where everything was rather muddy! Not huge but well marked paths around it and look forward to seeing how it changes through the seasons. Our young kids loved it. It's not obvious getting to it - you need to park on the grass verge just...

👍👍 Great walk, parking is at Auldwincle, or park at meadow lane, thrapston. You can walk around the lakes, takes over 1.5hours, as the smaller lake is fenced off. I done this walk on my own with Buddy, I felt completely safe. There are plenty of various footpath tracks to explore. Loved it.
