I find it safe to lock my bike in the market square. They are visible from the cafe windows and the entrance to the fish and chip shop. It gives a bit of peace of mind.

Excellent cafe with rural business park. Open Monday to Saturday. Entrance is easy to miss, it is on the left in wooded area if heading towards Blisworth. Heading towards Shutlanger Rd you will find it on the right at the top of the climb from Blisworth tunnel tower. On entering keep right towards car parks.

Beautiful and quiet village. Plenty of humps and some potholes, but can be avoided.

Your normal pub menu, a bit challenging to find place for bikes.

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.

Nice place for a short break. Never entered the pub while cycling.

Great service and butties

Scenic and quiet road. A bit of rollercoaster feeling doe to a series of climbing and quick descends.

Great flat pice of road inside Salcey Forest.

The Canal Museum, Stoke Bruerne is a great place to learn about the history of the canals and the people who worked on them. The museum is housed in a historic corn mill and offers visitors a chance to see how canals were built and operated. The museum also has a cafe, a gift shop, and a boat trip. It is open Tuesday through Saturday. Admission to the museum is free. Plenty of cycle stands outside the museum and cafe.

Good stop, good cakes, even better coffee

Pretty good views around, given that is is fairly rolling country side

Cycle off the High Street to the Rugby club, signposted Sports area.

Great place to stop and watch the world go by

A nice farm shop café. At time of writing Aug 2022 The Hayloft inside seating is closed but good outside seating options

A nice view from the town of Gayton - worth a quick stop to take it in (or more likely take a photo).

Great for a bacon sandwich and a cup of tea in the morning sun

Ventilation chimney for the grand Union Canal Tunnel below wow.

Olney is a beautiful market town on the River Great Ouse. Its picturesque streets are a great place for a mooch, with independent shops, charming cafes and traditional pubs. Just to the south of the town is excellent walking in Emberton Country Park and its pretty lakes. The town is well known for the Olney Pancake Race, which first took place in 1445. Every year, on Shrove Tuesday, the women of Olney run and flip their pancakes over a fixed distance, all while dressed as 'traditional housewives'.

Gayton is a lovely hilltop village that enjoys splendid views of the Northamptonshire countryside. It is not far from the Grand Union Canal and the remarkable Blisworth Tunnel, one of the longest canal tunnels in the world. The remains of what was probably a Roman temple were discovered half a mile (0.8 km) to the south east of the village.
