서튼 바셋 주변 최고의 사이클링 경로

Can be very muddy in winter.

I stopped at Windmill Farm just past the Oxendon tunnel. Cafe serves full breakfast, cakes and snacks.

Popular Cycling Cafe with good bike storage

The Brampton Valley Way is a 14-mile (22 km) traffic-free trail between Northampton and Market Harborough, following a disused railway line. It’s popular with cyclists, walkers, and horse riders thanks to its mostly flat, scenic route through countryside and woodland. Two long, unlit tunnels at Kelmarsh and Oxendon add an adventurous twist – lights are essential. The surface is a mix of gravel and dirt, best suited to hybrid or mountain bikes.

long dark wet tunnel. Great fun.

Nice little cafe. Outside ok for bikes and nice toilets. Egg and bacon baguette recommended

Appears on OS maps as "Oxendon Road" and presumably once connected Arthingworth to its nearest railway station.

A fine cafe stop with plenty of outside space for bikes and a good terrace. Good food too, from full breakfast to pastries and cakes.

The Bampton Valley Way is a 14-mile (22.5km) disused railway trail between Northampton and Market Harborough. It's a well surfaced multi-user trail, perfect for easy rides, families or as part of a commute. The trail follows a section of the old Northampton–Market Harborough railway line. It opened in 1859 and closed in 1981.

Great spot to take in the views across Pitsford Arm.

Can be wet, slippy and very dark! Make sure that you have your lights! If you're on road tyres I would advise walking. Mountain and Gravel bikes are suitable to ride through.

Easter special 🐰

There is a good coffee shop at Waterloo Farm Leisure just off Brampton Valley Way about half a mile from the Great Oxendon tunnel entrance on the Market Harborough side.

Interesting experience! Need good lights as obviously it is very dark. Surface is not good, quite a few puddles and potholes, need to take it steady. The notices at the entrance actually advise getting off and pushing your bike through but I wouldn’t have thought this was necessary if you were a reasonably good rider and had lights. I rode through OK although got a puncture!

Decent front light a must to ride through. Surface is not too bad but best to go slowly if you can't see well.

You will need a decent light to go through riding! There is a ventilation shaft halfway through which provides some relief from the gloom.

Another tunnel with another cool blast of air on these hot summer days.

A lovely cool blast of air on these warm summer days.

Some old trains are stationed on this old train station. the nearby pub is very nice and it's just a short stroll from there...

Weltons deli and cafe is good , a great stop off mid ride
