Decisive battle of the English Civil War

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.

Definitely no canal in Cottersbrooke!

Excellent little shop for refuelling !

Great coffee and vegan cake options.

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

Idyllic spot for a picnic as well as a regular hang-out spot for some of our feathered friends such as geese and swans, and some rarer species such as the ring-necked duck and common crane.

Where maps and the British landscape are concerned, Cold Ashby has something of a claim to fame. It was here, on 18 April 1936, that the Ordnance Survey's first trig pillar was erected, starting the Retriangulation of Great Britain, which saw over 11,000 pillars installed in order to accurately map the land. Unsurprisingly, given Cold Ashby's selection as a trig point venue, it occupies high ground. In fact, this is the highest village in Northamptonshire, at 656 feet (200 m) above sea level.
