Rou can take the alternative rout over the Bedford Road. This is the opposite side of the river to the "unofficial underpass", which I expect was also flooded.

The area is great, lots of paths and variety, but the route given sticks to busy roads where you have to keep your dog on a lead. It also directs you down a private drive with no public right of way. Come to the area and follow your nose, not this route.

Been past it a few times just lately (late 2023) and it appears to be closed permanently.

Northampton's first and only floating restaurant! 'Commissioned' for build by Jack Patel in 2006, the boat was completed and moored at its current location in 2014. The boat covers 2 decks, has a licenced bar, vegan cafe, customer toilets on board and can be hired for events, wedding receptions, etc. and has become a bit of a Northampton landmark. https://www.thearknorthampton.com/

Can be surprisingly tough & hard-going for what is effectively a grassy field! There is an adjacent tarmac cyclepath to the north accessible over the bridges if you're not in the mood.
