DAVENTRY COUNTRY PARK

The Daventry Country Park lies to the East of Daventry off the A425 Northern Way.   The POC area lies to the West of Daventry Reservoir.  It is mostly a wooded area with some flat open areas of rough grassland.  There are several paths to follow.

There are two courses, each with their own map.  Both maps are free to download from here, but waterproof copies can be bought for a small charge (£1 max) from the Visitor Centre when the Reservoir Cafe is open.  (9 am - 5 pm in the Summer, 9 am - 4 pm in the Winter and 9 am to 2 pm on Sundays and Bank Holidays).

Both Courses Start at the Cafe at the side of the Reservoir and Finish at the Car Park. 

The EASY COURSE IS 1.1km with 10 Controls

The MEDIUM COURSE is 2.6km with 14 Controls.
