Now an English Heritage site originally built in 1593 by Thomas Tresham. His other property, Liveden Neubeild is just north of Fermyn Country Park, from where I began today’s ride.

This climb is a leg-burner, perfect for a serious workout. In reverse, it’s a scenic, enjoyable downhill, offering sweeping views of the countryside - so a rewarding ride in either direction.

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/ )

a mini rollercoaster with some fields, some grass and some hard packed well drained gravel

From the east, short field through crops, the lovely grassy and gravel section then 2 longer crop fields. Very dependent on weather and what crops they are. Not good in the wet. Wheat this year which is ok to ride through, not sure what it was last year but was awful to ride through see last photo.

Local landmark next to a great gravel tracks between Geddington & Brigstock. Stop ad try and guess how old the big old oak actually is!

Nestled in the valley of the River Jordan, Braybrooke is a small and picturesque Northamptonshire village. It lies on the path of the Jurassic Way, a long-distance footpath that traces Northamptonshire's limestone escarpment. Walkers will find excellent food at the Swan, though accommodation in the surrounding region is lacking.

A great route from Northampton to the picturesque town of Market Harborough and beyond, an especially easy route to and from the Railway Station in both towns. There are two tunnels, one at Kelmarsh and another at Oxendon so don't forget your lights, other things to mention are, where route 6 crosses the A5199 at the Windhover Pub to un-adopted road leading to Northampton via Windrush Way the path is tarmac, north from the Windhover is all gravel and quite bumpy in parts. If you have time why not visit Pitsford Country Park, its roughly 7 miles round some stunning countryside and you can grab drinks and eats at the Willow Tree Café!
