グラフトンアンダーウッドでののおすすめツーリングルート

When King Edward I’s beloved first wife, Eleanor of Castile, died in 1290, he spent three days in intense mourning, unable to leave the Nottinghamshire village of Harby where she died. He then led her funeral procession, journeying some 200 miles to London over many days. To commemorate Eleanor, Edward commissioned three tombs and had 12 stone crosses built to mark each place where her body rested overnight on its final journey. He employed the best masons in the land to build them. (Text from: https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/eleanor-cross-geddington/history/ )

One of the best cafes in the area by far, great food / service. Can’t say I’ve had a bad time here in MANY trips !

Northamptonshire's community cafe of the year! Freshly baked goods, decent coffee, and a lovely breakfast/lunch menu too. Little space to leave bikes out the front, however if you ask, they will direct you to their garden where they are (usually) happy for you to leave bikes!

open daily from 10am, serving breakfast, brunch and tapas.

Quaint cafe, serving lunch and an assortment of freshly baked cakes.

Lovely cosy cafe, well priced, lots of breakfast options as well as fresh home made cakes. Gets very busy over lunch, often booked up but a decent coffee stop in the morning.

Nice stone bridge on the edge of Thrapston spanning a nice section of the Nene. Some nice parkland and benches nearby to take a rest, or head into Thrapston for pubs and shops.

One of the more spectacular of the surviving Eleanor crosses. A good challenge is to ride the route of all the crosses from Lincoln to London. I and others did it raising money for the Great Ormond Street Hospital.
