I stopped at Windmill Farm just past the Oxendon tunnel. Cafe serves full breakfast, cakes and snacks.

The Brampton Valley Way is a 14-mile (22 km) traffic-free trail between Northampton and Market Harborough, following a disused railway line. It’s popular with cyclists, walkers, and horse riders thanks to its mostly flat, scenic route through countryside and woodland. Two long, unlit tunnels at Kelmarsh and Oxendon add an adventurous twist – lights are essential. The surface is a mix of gravel and dirt, best suited to hybrid or mountain bikes.

The Bampton Valley Way is a 14-mile (22.5km) disused railway trail between Northampton and Market Harborough. It's a well surfaced multi-user trail, perfect for easy rides, families or as part of a commute. The trail follows a section of the old Northampton–Market Harborough railway line. It opened in 1859 and closed in 1981.

Great spot to take in the views across Pitsford Arm.

Slowly rusting away

There are not steps in the bridge so you can't walk up to the top unfortunately.

Easter special 🐰

Definitely no canal in Cottersbrooke!

Great views across Northamptonshire

Great well maintained path round the reservoir. Be aware of other users on the tighter bends.

Beautiful old iron foot bridge over the old railway line, a lovely place to stop and chill

Some old trains are stationed on this old train station. the nearby pub is very nice and it's just a short stroll from there...

Great coffee and vegan cake options.

Stroll through the streets of this wonderful canal village deep in the Northamptonshire countryside.

Get up close to the Pitsford Water dam and enjoy expansive views over the glassy waters.

a great traffic free segment with mostly well drained gravel, a link from a quiet road back to the Brampton Valley Way

Built around 1702, a great example of Queen Anne architecture. Supposedly the inspiration for Jane Austen's Mansfield Park, the house and grounds are well worth stopping by. The award winning gardens in particular are spectacular.

From the direction we came from (railway path) there's a steep hill to get over, especially when fully laden, but the coffee and food is worth it. There's also a Co-op shop over the road for snacks!

Good coffee and selection of cakes and savoury, co-op opposite for ride snacks etc

Steep slippery sections at each end. Watch out for dog walkers.
