Great Little Cafe with Friendly Staff. Indoor and Outdoor Seating. Not much room for bikes but solo or small groups definitely worth a stop if you are passing.

The charming village of Monks Kirby is set in a nice shallow valley, with only about two hundred houses. It is small and picturesque. It is a historical hamlet with St. Edith’s church in the village going back to the 11th century, and this is the dominant architectural feature in the area with its large tower. The lanes around the village are ideal for cycling, they are quieter than you might think considering their proximity to the M6.

Good backdrop for a photo in the evening around this time of year

A lovely stop with seating inside or outside. Modern Cafe And Delicatessen Serving Hot And Cold Drinks, Light Bites, Homemade Cakes, Pies and much more

The road outside maked as delightful approach into Ashby St ledgers

Not to be confused with the major Hertfordshire town to the north of London, the Northamptonshire village of Watford is known for the nearby Watford Gap. The Gap is one of England's major transport arteries due to its position through the ridge of high ground that runs across the region. There was a settlement here in Roman times called Bannaventa, which means 'gap in the hills' and it was on the route of Watling Street, the major Roman road. Today, there's a pub – the Wheelwright's Arms – and the surrounding Watford Park, an 18th-century garden cultivated on the site of the former medieval village.

This attractive Northamptonshire village lies on the route of the Jurassic Way long-distance footpath and is an important stop off just above Watford Gap. There are a number of amenities for walkers, including three pubs, one of which has rooms for the night. There are also bed and breakfast options and a grocery store.

Brinklow Castle is known locally as the Tump. It's a medieval motte and bailey castle based on a prehistoric long barrow and modified in the 11th century. It's quite large for this period with a 12m high motte and a 121m by 152m bailey. The grass mounds are still clearly visible.
