Braunston Walks
'Circular routes of between 4 and 6 miles starting and finishing in the village of Braunston ...The name Braunston is, doubtless, of Saxon origin from Brauns (a man's name) ton (town) i.e. Braun's Town. Braunston is not mentioned in the Doomsday book; indeed, nothing is known respecting the history of this parish before the year 1200. As is frequently the case in the county, the main part of the village is grouped in and around a rough rectangular figure. The cottages are made of stone with thatched or stone roofs; a few are built of brick with tiled roofs. Historically this area was part of the Forest of Leighfield and the appearance of this area has been greatly influenced by its long existence as a Royal Hunting Forest.'
