The Jurassic Way is 88 miles in length, running from Banbury to Stamford.

The Jurassic Way is a long distance, recreational footpath which travels the length of Northamptonshire and more.

The termini, Banbury and Stamford, are separated by beautiful rolling countryside lying over rocks from the Jurassic Age ( c. 140-195 million years old ).

The three guides covering the three sections are informative and well illustrated, and provide a detailed description of the route to follow. The maps contained in the quides are to 1:25000 scale (about 21 miles to the inch).

Welford is located at about the midpoint of the whole footpath, and also approximately half-way through the centre section.
