バイソーン＆キーストン（ハンツ）でののおすすめグラベルライド

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。

A well stocked shop and pub which is the perfect place for a cycle pitstop. No worries about queues, locking up bike etc.... Bench seating outside the pub with some shade from the trees. Minimal detour even if you're on the lap of the reservoir

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.

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/ )

Don't follow Komoot strictly (like I did) 😉 - obey the signs from farmer/landowner & NCN signs - small mistakes can be forgiven, I suppose, when we new to the area.

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.

Pub-in-a-shed. There’s a community-run village shop next to it.

Excellent ride not to be missed. Advice. Take care can be a bit slidey but should be no problems for most experience levels
