Truly nature is reserved here, very raw, a long walking trail along the lakes between the trees. Had a good time here!
A Pleasant short walk around the pits with my wife from Rushden Lakes shopping . Centre
It's a very good place to take your dog/dogs for a walk
Superb country walks along side the river Nene. Wildlife changes dramatically as the seasons change, very good for photography. Try a macro/close up lens for dragon flies etc and don't forget the binoculars for the abundant bird population. Enjoy.
Pleasant area for an evening stoll, morning run or even grabbing the mtb for a cross-country pedal. Some wildlife to spot - including kingfishers - though there is a bit of (presumably windblown) litter strewn around. Some access is blocked currently awaiting opening of the Rushden Lakes multi-shop/entertainment venue.
