オルニーでののおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

I find it safe to lock my bike in the market square. They are visible from the cafe windows and the entrance to the fish and chip shop. It gives a bit of peace of mind.

Do not do this trail as a bridge across a river was no longer there. We had to turn back

Cycle off the High Street to the Rugby club, signposted Sports area.

A lovely coffee and exceptional cannoli. There is a cycle rack across the road in the market carpark, which is visible from the cafe tables on the street. I will be returning here again :)

Great place to stop and watch the world go by

Olney is a beautiful market town on the River Great Ouse. Its picturesque streets are a great place for a mooch, with independent shops, charming cafes and traditional pubs. Just to the south of the town is excellent walking in Emberton Country Park and its pretty lakes. The town is well known for the Olney Pancake Race, which first took place in 1445. Every year, on Shrove Tuesday, the women of Olney run and flip their pancakes over a fixed distance, all while dressed as 'traditional housewives'.

Emberton Country Park is blessed with 200 acres (81 ha) of peaceful parkland and shimmering lakes. Beloved by walkers and cyclists alike, there are a number of circular trails on offer. The park also has children's play areas, picnic spots and plenty of places where you can feed the ducks.

Famous for the hymn Amazing Grace, which was written at the Church of St Peter & St Paul at the south of the town. Handy for supermarkets, cafes and there's even a public lavatory on the square!
