Cycling, E-Scooters, and Walking

Getting around the town

Northampton is the perfect mix of city life and countryside, and if you want to explore by foot the Northamptonshire County Council have a number of leisure walking guides you can utilise to get back to nature.

Get cycling or walking to save money, keep fit and enjoy your commute. Cycling and walking contributes to the Department of Health’s recommended 150 minutes of physical activity per week.

To plan a cycling or walking route to the university use a map such as Open Street Map which shows all public footway or a journey planner such as Cyclestreets.net.

The Northamptonshire County Council website has a number of resources such as cycling maps and guidance on cycling. Local group Northamptonshire Walks have an amazing array of walks around the county with easy routes and pictures to guide you. They also have their own Facebook group and clothing apparel!

If you’re bringing your own bike there’ll be plenty of covered and racked cycle storage alongside showers and the use of day lockers for the storage of cycling clothing and equipment.

Don’t have a bike? No problem! We have a Four Day Hire and Three-monthly cycle hire scheme for students needing a bike whether to commute between sites, to local jobs or for fun and exercise.  We have different sized bikes and they each come with a hardy D Lock and their own Bike Register number to ensure safety.  For more information please get in touch.
