Vintage Coffee Truck in Harlestone Firs Forest

Harlestone Firs

Highlight • Forest

Great for a walk with the dog, with friends or just on your tod. There are miles of criss-crossing paths to explore with access to the golf course on the far side (away from main entrance).

There is roadside parking in front of the main entrance, though this can get full quickly on a nice day or at the weekend. An ice cream van parks here most busy days, selling the local Gallone's ice cream, along with all the classics.

You can also visit the garden centre 328 feet (100 m) down from the forest entrance, where there is a cafe, shops and toilets.

Tree Swing by the River Nene

Highlight • Viewpoint

Pretty crossing over the River Nene with opportunities to deter from the path slightly and get closer to the river. The spot under the tree is a great place for a picnic during the warmer months.

July 14, 2025,Harlestone Firs to Chapel Brampton

Nice route. Mixture of forest, gravel, and pavement.

I wore trail, but in dry weather, the more sure footed could wear road.

Easy to park plus a garden centre for food/drink afterwards

August 19, 2024,Harlestone Firs – Brampton Halt pub loop from Lower Harlestone (trail shoes)

Really nice trail run. New houses being built so Komoot route needs updating
