ボッディントンでののおすすめツーリングルート

One of the few places nearby where you can cross the construction site North-South

Draycote Water is an artificial reservoir (23 million m3), which was completed in 1969. In addition to its function as a water reserve, it is a leisure park u.a. for anglers, sailors, hikers. The rich bird life invites also to observations. Swimming is not allowed in the lake.

Excellent 8km cycling with great views and rest areas.

Very good coffee and warm sausage rolls

Chipping Warden is a typically pretty village for the area. Smaller than some of its more famous neighbours but no less picturesque. A good spot to rest and seek refreshment.

St John the Baptist church, a beautiful place to take a moment mid-ride. You can walk all around the church and marvel at the architecture.

Chipping Warden is a Northamptonshire village with a rich history. On the River Cherwell, to the east, are the remains of a Roman villa, while just to the south of the village is an Iron Age hillfort, Arbury Banks. The village sits on the Jurassic Way long-distance trail. Walkers in need of a pitstop will be delighted that there are two pubs: the Griffin and the Rose and Crown.

You get on here at bottom of the hill going towards Draycote.

A nice place to stop and rest a while.

Left to Barby or just up the hill there is the Rugby Model Railway Society...

Nice ride along the greenway no too wet...

long bridge with two arches, road and river...

excellent coffee stop

Beautifully ornate gated entrance to the Canons Ashby gardens can be seen from just past the main car park entrance.

This is where I finally got off the canal path

Stopped for the views and there were free courgettes at the side of the road, how refreshingly nice

Great views across the farm land

There is one problem with this side of Draycote water and that's the bugs. The wind blows across the lake and you get a face of bugs. But the views are good and it's always a good section of a ride, always busy when the weather is good...

Nice track to take you out of Rugby, very popular with walkers and families.

Quiet back lane on the edge of Culworth. It is tarmac but has quite a few potholes and some mud and gravel on the road as it isn't used much.
