Walking to The Chester House Estate


You can now walk to the estate from Wellingborough due to our brand new pedestrian bridges that have been fully restored and are accessible to the public. 

If you are accessing us from Wellingborough by walking, you can follow a path from the Wellingborough embankment through along the Nene Valley alongside the River Nene. As you follow this path (also known as the Nene Way) you'll come to a large footbridge which crosses the Nene and you can see the stunning 17th century Farmhouse across the valley. Head towards the house and follow the landscape path to get to the main site. 

Some parts of this route may be uneven and potentially overgrown due to it being a natural footpath, please come prepared for this and wear sensible footwear whilst walking.
