ディーンアンドシェルトンのおすすめMTBライド

素敵で走りやすい砂利道です。週末は歩行者などで混雑することがあるので、少しペースが落ちるかもしれません。しかし、早朝や平日は通常、かなり順調です。

Careful in the winter - this was pretty unrideable. Mainly grassy byway. Imagine it's super fun when dry!

Woodford Lock is located on the River Nene in Northamptonshire. The lock is set in a picturesque rural landscape surrounded by lush countryside. It's one of several locks along the River Nene, allowing boats to navigate the varying water levels of the river.

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!

The cycle path along the top of the dam is wide and flat and gives great views across the reservoir. Reach it from the Visitor Centre at the northern end although access at the southern end is trickier as you have to squeeze through a narrow gap next to a locked gate by the main road.

Great stop off, good coffee and even have vegan cake options (2) also very comfortable parking the bike up as well away from the road, situated towards the back of the garden centre.

The valve tower at Grafham Lake homes the controls that operate the opening and closing of the gates/valves allowing the reservoir water to be correctly regulated. The tower was built in the 1960s and resembles something of a spaceship!
