Daventry East Round

Explore the Daventry East Round, an 18.5 km loop offering a mix of urban landscape and canal-side tranquillity. Beginning with a climb up Borough Hill for panoramic views, the route then transitions to paths and lanes leading to the historic Grand Union Canal. Be prepared for potentially muddy and slippery conditions along the towpath, with its narrow, grassy, or earthy surface, particularly after rain.

This largely flat course, aside from the initial ascent, is ideal for a long training run, offering varied scenery and surfaces. After exiting the canal, the route weaves through Daventry, including a section through Daventry Park, making for a practical and engaging run suitable for building endurance with a touch of local sightseeing.
