Harringworth Viaduct

Highlight • Monument

NOT SUITABLE FOR DOG WALKING! Tried this route today, and gave up at Thorpe Country Club. From Gretton to Thorpe there's no clear pathways. After crossing over the railway tracks the 'paths' become very overgrown and it's difficult to make out which way to go. There's several sties that you have to clamber over, which isn't suitable for big dogs to get over. I had to physically lift my 24kg dog over the sties as he was too hesitant to climb over them! Once you get to Thorpe, the route takes you onto a very dangerous B road for about 2 miles, which has numerous sharp double bends, with a 60mph speed limit. I just didn't feel safe and I wasn't prepared to take my dog any further.....
VERY DISSAPOINTED.....

Welland Viaduct (Harringworth Viaduct)

Highlight • Historical Site

The Northamptonshire village of Harringworth is dominated by the hugely impressive Welland Viaduct (often called the Harringworth Viaduct). The village lies on the Jurassic Way long-distance trail, though there are few amenities for walkers here.

The 82-arch Welland Viaduct is the lengthiest masonry viaduct in the UK, at 3,825 feet (1,166 m) long. Incredibly, a total of 30 million bricks were used in its construction in the 1870s.
