Local Walk
9.5 mile Figure of 8 taking in the village of
Welford,Sibbertoft, River Avon and parts of the
Grand Union Canal.
The walk starts at 10:30 prompt from the Wharf
Inn (NN6 6JQ) in Welford,just in front of Welford
Marina.****
Local directions to the pub: If coming from the
south drive through Welford along the A5199 and as
you start to leave the village the pub will appear
on your left. To the rear of the pub there is
visitor parking so please aim to park there.
However if this is full please park considerately
in the pub car park or wherever will cause minimal
inconvenience to any lunchtime pub punters.
The morning section of the walk is a 6 mile
circular leaving from the village of Welford,
following part of the Jurassic Way and taking in
the site of the Medieval village of Sulby. The
halfway point of the morning walk is the historic
village of Sibbertoft. Then we return back to
Welford through open fields and past a short
stretch of the River Avon.
Return to the Warf Inn 12:30-1pm. If joining us
for the afternoon portion of the walk please
contact me beforehand and I’ll send you my
mobile number so we know to expect you.
The pub has plenty of outdoor seating and the
landlord is more than happy for us to utilize
aforementioned picnic benches to eat our sandwiches
and glug our ale. The Warf Inn is a great dog
friendly pub boasting a tantalising array of real
ales.....most worthy of note on my last visit was a
cheeky little number called Mad Jaffa standing at
7%!! A few of those and ‘standing’ you
won’t be!
The afternoon portion of the walk will be a
shorter relaxed 3.5 mile loop taking in parts of
the Grand Union Canal and views of the surrounding
area.
The walk offers gentle undulations but nothing
strenuous.
