Explore the Middlemore to Braunston Marina and Back
Location: Daventry, England
Discover a pleasant 6km out-and-back route from Middlemore, following the historic Grand Union Canal towards Braunston Marina. This largely paved path offers a gentle incline (43m ascent) and scenic waterside views, making it ideal for a relaxed run or steady training. Enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and the charm of British canal life as you explore.
While mostly paved for convenience, some sections can become muddy and slippery after rain, so choose your footwear wisely. Be mindful of a narrow stepped footbridge near the marina and an eroded path segment at the top of the tunnel's zigzag. The route culminates with an uphill challenge from the tunnel mouth, adding a rewarding finish to your run.
