Local Dog Walks

Kelmarsh Tunnels
Kelmarsh Tunnel Is Now A Disused Railway In Northamptonshire. It’S A Beautiful Walk To The Tunnels. You Don’T Have To Go Through Them, You Can Go Over Them :). It’S Also A Lovely Walk From Kelmarsh To Market Harborougj. Dogs Can Be Of Lead As Well, Just Watch Out For Cyclists! Oxendon Rd Market Lancashire HARBOROUGH LE16 2.93 miles If You Are Travelling From Desborough It Is Best To Go Through Arthingworth. When Driving Down You Will See A Bridge, Just Before The Bridge You Will See A Car Park On Your Right. That’S Where I Would Recommend Parking As It Is The Start Of The Walk.

Kelmarsh Tunnels
Brought Oscar My Dog Here For The First Time Today. (17/8/20) Nice Walk Although The Tunnel Itself Was A Bit Mucky And Slippery Which Is To Be Expected Due To The Weather. Word Of Advice...If You’Re Visiting After A Prolonged Or Heavy Rainfall, Do Wear Suitable Footwear. Also Being A Good Strong Beamed Torch Too. We Enjoyed It And Will Be Back To Explore Further.
