ヤードリーヘイスティングスでののおすすめグラベルライド

A convenient stop with easy access to toilets and great ice cream. It’s ideal for a quick refill, though be prepared for long queues at the counter. The paninis and sandwiches aren’t the best, but it serves its purpose.

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.

This old bridge sits over the remnants of an old regional railway line that used to run to/from Towcester and join up with the Northampton to Bedford line near the Yardley Hastings ammo depot. The tracks themselves are long gone but peering over the sides you can see the remains of the old track bed with trees either side going off into the distance.

Easter special 🐰

Fairly popular cafe for Salcey Forest walkers and wheelers alike. Plenty of outdoor seating for nice days (or if you're a bit muddy from the forest!) and there's a bike hire centre too. https://groundscafe.uk/salcey/

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

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 track to salcey forest 👍

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

The church originated in the 12th century and is well worth a visit. It is a redundant Anglican church but still hosts occasional special services. https://www.visitchurches.org.uk/visit/church-listing/st-peter-and-st-paul-preston-deanery.html

Great easy 5 mile gravel loop

Great little family 5 mile gravel loop 👍

It is not possible to swim at Brixworth. All the other activities are available.

A nice stop off point for a snack

Great views from the top of Merry Tom Lane

A well sign posted easy 5 mile cycle loop that the whole family can ride situated within Salcey Forest. From Milton Keynes follow Swans Way for 10 miles across lovely countryside and through Little Linford Wood to get there.

Watch out for the cars at the crossroads!

A shady place to stop for a picnic when the sun is out.

Unusually shaped church that seems to have been extended more than once, sitting in well kept grounds that lead directly from the road.
