Greenway

The North Northamptonshire Greenway is a strategic rural network of safer, largely traffic-free routes suitable for walkers, wheelers, cyclists and equestrian users where appropriate, connecting settlements, employment, leisure and tourism destinations across North Northamptonshire and beyond.

The Greenway is a long term ambition, with routes being delivered over the next 10-30 years by working with communities and local landowners.

Strategic masterplan

Our Strategic Masterplan comprises of over 350km of routes connecting settlements within North Northamptonshire and in neighbouring authorities with a combined population of 600,000.

The plan has been developed following the methodology set out in the Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans (LCWIP) guidance, in effect making the North Northamptonshire Greenway a rural strategic LCWIP which connects North Northamptonshire’s key settlements.
