� Dog-friendly: Yes – friendly pups welcome!

Join us for a peaceful countryside wander as we leave the village of Ecton and head into the meadows. The hum of traffic quickly fades as we meet curious horses (and a cheeky Shetland pony!) and pass by a hidden farm shop. From there, we journey into the beautiful Sywell Country Park.
Get your cameras ready � – there’s lots to spot! We’ll loop around Sywell Reservoir, pass the butterfly meadow, spot waterfowl overhead, and take in some hidden historical gems. We’ll wrap things up with a brew at the Pumphouse Café – and maybe a hot sausage roll or slice of cake too!
� Distance & Terrain: 5.5 miles – Mostly easy underfoot, with meadows, park paths, and some country lanes
� Refreshments: Optional stop at the Pumphouse Café before the final stretch
