Lovely coffee and food. Lovely staff

Cyclist-friendly cafe with outdoor seating. No specific bike parking although there's plenty of spots to prop a bike outside.

One of our 2 favourite coffee stops in Oundle. Normally have a vegan cake option, sadly didn't on our last visit.

Whilst there is no public access to this former water mill, it makes for a great spot to stop and admire the wonderful view.

Standing tall above the serene River Nene sits the ruins of this fascinating historic site, Fotheringay Castle. Explore medieval history and enjoy beautiful landscape views as you wander around.

A haven for local cyclists - super friendly staff and great coffee. Not much outdoor space as it's in the centre of town, so be mindful of where you stack your bike(s) and don't block the path.

There's much for outdoor lovers to enjoy in Fineshade Wood, with walking trails, family bike trails, running routes and kids' adventure trails. There's a visitor centre where you can find out more about the woodland. It's part of what was once Rockingham Forest, a vast royal hunting ground.

Sir Thomas Tresham planned ‘Lyveden House’ to be the starting place for Elizabethan visitors to experience the pleasure grounds and his garden lodge. The house is grade one listed and was owned by the Tresham family until 1649 when it was sequestered during the Civil War because of continued Catholic links. In 1660 Charles II granted Lyveden to the Earl of Sandwich and from then the house passed through various family members including the Earls of Ossory and Robert Vernon Smith, 1st Lord Lyveden who acquired the house in 1841. Sometimes referred to as ‘Lyveden Old Bield’ the house is in fact newer than the ‘New Bield’. This refers to the garden lodge at the top of the hill. It is believed that the manor house is built on the footprint of an older Elizabethan house, possibly built by Sir Thomas’ great grandfather around 1570. The manor itself was built by Lewis Tresham, Sir Thomas' second son, and completed around 1615. It has changed a lot since this date, including the removal of an extensive wing to the north of the current building, the modernisation of the historic interiors and the addition of modern extensions to house the kitchen and additional guest suites. The original oak staircase was removed from Lyveden House around 1920. It's believed this was in payment of a gambling debt to the Ford motor family. Henry Ford’s son Edsel Ford, built his country house around the staircase which still stands and can be seen in the Edsel & Eleanor Ford House in Michigan, USA. An exact replica of the original was re-built within the house at Lyveden in 2000. In 2013 the National Trust was successful in acquiring Lyveden House and 27 acres of grounds. The Lyveden Reconnected project is going to offer visitors the opportunity to experience the Elizabethan garden as Tresham once envisaged; beginning at the manor and journeying through his symbolic garden to the lodge at the top of the hill.
