Small cafe serving drinks, cakes, pastries and snacks. Seating indoors and outdoors. Toilet. Check opening times and menu on Instagram @chapel_andco Also a selection of gifts.

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.

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.

Go a few hundred yards into the village and visit the Sun Inn (a proper pub with sensible prices) instead of the Cromwell

Tough climb, starts off a bit easier, but ramps up further into the climb, so don't go too hard to start with!

Beautiful little canal village in the west of Northamptonshire.

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