チャーウェルトンでののおすすめMTBライド

Good views from the highpoint next to the comms tower. Can see for miles in all directions on a clear day - a good spot for a breather!

....an honour shared with The Red Lion at Hellidon, both a lofty 172m by my reckoning

This is a great Bridleway from Daventry to Flecknoe, the only down point is stopping to open and close gates.

In this subway you will find some great graffiti/art, remembering a time Daventry have a railway line.

A lovely ride around Daventry country Park, easy cycling on the gravel path. Be aware this can be a busy park with runner's, dog walker's and children.

This is the northern side of the Braunston Tunnel on the Grand Union Canal. Braunston Tunnel is 2,042 yards in length.

The Braunston Tunnel is 2,042 yards in length on the Grand Union Canal about 830 yds east of Braunston, Northamptonshire, If you take a small ride up the service road and look out for some nice tech trails back down to the towpath, great fun 👍

The Anglican Church of St John the Baptist, was built in the Imperial period, sits on the site of a Medieval church. It is situated in Lower Shuckburgh. The parish chuch of St John the Baptist was rebuilt after a fire in 1864.  It is constructed of a mixture of dark and light sandstone with limestone bands. The interior is decorated with Moorish tiles in Gothic style.

Lower Shuckburgh is a lovely little village just of the Oxford Canal in rural Warwickshire. Its biggest attraction is the Church of Saint John the Baptist and its gothic stylings. Built in 1864, the church is now Grade II-listed. Particularly poignant is the 15-foot (5 m) war memorial, built in 1921 of Hornton stone.

Erected in 1908 in memory of Colonel Edmund Charles Burton or prominent local figure.

Imposing communications mast - visible for miles around

The end of the towpath, you'll need to climb a pretty steep path to the left to get up to the small car park and road at the top.

Stop in mid ride for a look at the latest bikes, clothing, equipment and accessories or pick up a bargain from the baskets near the door. You never know when you're going to need a spare inner tube or replacement whatsit for your thingamijig. And best of all you can grab a coffee and cake (or something healthier) at the in store cafe.

Well kept paths around the park, about a 5 km loop. Also site of Daventry Parkrun.

Quoetcountry roads, or canal path - here's an access point to both, so take your pick.
