In a village associated with Knights Hospitallers,
Wartime Spies and Craft Distillers, a Uniquely
British Snowdrop Walk will take place on
Sunday 15th February.

The farming village of Harrington is home to
less than 100 people, yet has a fascinating
history which you can discover on this selfguided
snowdrop walk. Starting from the 200
year former school, which is today’s Village
Hall, you will be able to enjoy Harrington at
its most picturesque; the stone cottages are
beautifully fronted by banks of snowdrops
and aconites at this time of year. Walk along
the high to the secluded Church Walk, which
is carpeted in snowdrops, to the 13th Century
church where you will be able to see the 17th
Century Vamping Horn, one of only eight in the
country. You will be able to walk back past the
well known Tollemache Arms, with its glorious
new thatch, before visiting the site of the Falls,
a scheduled ancient monument. Access to
the Falls is by kind permission of the Warner
family; Falls Farm today houses the artisan
Warner Edwards gin distillery, which will also
be open for you to visit.

Walking further through the village there are
views over towards the airfield and museums,
which although closed until Easter are another
site well worth visiting in the future, returning
back to the Village Hall where local residents will
be on hand to describe the historic importance
of the airfield and the Carpet Baggers . Also
at the top end of the village you will be able
to see the red chestnut planted in 1913 when
the Desborough Cooperative Society became
owners of Harrington. From mentions in the
Domesday Book in 1086, through wartime
and cold war roles to the modern businesses
operating in Harrington today, this snowdrop
walk will provide you with a fascinating insight
into rural Northamptonshire. If that wasn’t
enough, tea and homemade cakes will be
served in the Village Hall at the end of the
walk.

The walk will take place from 1pm – 4pm on
Sunday 15th February, there is a small charge
for the information pack and map.
