Yarwell Station is the westernmost station on the Nene Valley Railway and sits at the edge of the picturesque Northamptonshire countryside, adjacent to a tranquil lake.
From here it's easy to take a pleasant walk into the nearby villages of Yarwell and Nassington.

Both villages are approximately 25 minutes from Yarwell Station. In Nassington you can stop for refreshments at the Black Horse or Queen's Head public houses, and in Yarwell, at the Angel. On some summer Sundays, there are also cakes and tea on sale in Yarwell Village Hall.
The historic Prebendal Manor is also in Nassington, but it would be wise to check on opening times before visiting.
For those with a bicycle, it is also possible to go further afield to other villages such as Apethorpe or Fotheringhay.
Walking or cycling through the countryside also gives you the opportunity to see examples of the abundant wildlife from red kites to kingfishers and fallow deer. There is also evidence of badgers.
For those remaining on the train, there is the opportunity at Yarwell to alight, stretch your legs and watch the locomotive run round the train, ready to haul it on its journey back through Wansford and the Nene Park to Peterborough. There is also time to look at the interpretation boards on the station that show examples of the wildlife and places of interest in the area.
