ストークゴールディントンのおすすめランニングルート

Beautiful and quiet village. Plenty of humps and some potholes, but can be avoided.

Your normal pub menu, a bit challenging to find place for bikes.

Scenic and quiet road. A bit of rollercoaster feeling doe to a series of climbing and quick descends.

Not much remains of the castle just some rather subdued earthworks

🌻 sunny sunflowers 🌻

A few yards up Newport way is a small layby big enough for two cars. You could park here instead of Salcy Forest Horse Box Park as they now charge £6 a day to park.

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.
