Greenway Higham Ferrers to Rushden Lakes Loop

Starting at Higham Doctors Surgery on Saffron Road, we will follow the road towards Vine Hill and join the cycle path at Wharf Road we will dismount to get over the bridges they are a bit steep. We will continue along the Stanwick Lakes cycle path towards Rushden Lakes and come out behind AJ Cycles. We will then have a quick stop and natter at Rushden Lakes Costa Coffee before continuing towards the footbridge over the A45. For those confident enough you can cycle over the bridge and wait for us at the pelican crossing.

The Greenway continues past Waitrose, Wikes to the end of Crown Way and then follows a cycle and footpath towards ASDA. We will dismount and use the pelican crossing and then cycle past Rushden Railway Museum towards Higham School and finish behind Higham Library. Depending on how many of us we will cycle along the path by the church or along the Wood Street to College Street where we will dismount for a final time and reach the starting point.

This is a gentle loop mainly off road following the Greenway ideal for those who haven’t ridden in a long time and want to build up to more challenging rides.

Mainly cycle paths and a couple of quiet roads.

We will stop at Costa Coffee at Rushden Lakes.

Helmets are advisable on this route.

First-timers welcome!
