The best running trails around Hackleton

This old bridge sits over the remnants of an old regional railway line that used to run to/from Towcester and join up with the Northampton to Bedford line near the Yardley Hastings ammo depot. The tracks themselves are long gone but peering over the sides you can see the remains of the old track bed with trees either side going off into the distance.

Fairly popular cafe for Salcey Forest walkers and wheelers alike. Plenty of outdoor seating for nice days (or if you're a bit muddy from the forest!) and there's a bike hire centre too. https://groundscafe.uk/salcey/

Great track to salcey forest 👍

The church originated in the 12th century and is well worth a visit. It is a redundant Anglican church but still hosts occasional special services. https://www.visitchurches.org.uk/visit/church-listing/st-peter-and-st-paul-preston-deanery.html

Great little family 5 mile gravel loop 👍

A nice stop off point for a snack

A well sign posted easy 5 mile cycle loop that the whole family can ride situated within Salcey Forest. From Milton Keynes follow Swans Way for 10 miles across lovely countryside and through Little Linford Wood to get there.

Beautiful old church and small but well kept graveyard and grounds, looked great in the sunshine and I'm sure the stained glass would be very impressive from the inside on a day like today.
