Castle Field - Guided Walk
Wicksteed Park, Kettering, Northamptonshire, NN15 6NJ
Join our rangers for a guided walk through our scenic water meadow and discover the natural features that flow through the Wicksteed grounds, along with the rich history that stretches far beyond the playgrounds and rides.
This immersive route will lead you through the tranquil water meadow, where the terrain is uneven and largely unmarked. Along the way, we’ll explore both historic and modern architectural features that tell the story of the site's evolving landscape.
The highlight of the walk is the Castle Field, a remarkable site steeped in history. Here, you’ll learn about the remains of a medieval manor house, complete with its original moats and a fish pond.
Sturdy footwear is recommended.
