해링턴 주변 최고의 러닝 경로

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

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.

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

Slowly rusting away

There are not steps in the bridge so you can't walk up to the top unfortunately.

Easter special 🐰

Beautiful old iron foot bridge over the old railway line, a lovely place to stop and chill

This is very flat and well maintained gravel surface. It is tree lined on both sides

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...

Roadside parking available where Manor Road meets Brampton Valley Way.

A great hardpack gravel road through the fields running away from the NCN6 towards Arthingworth. Ridable on all bike types.

Broken tarmac and gravel, rideable all year round.

Kelmarsh railway station on the Northampton and Market Harborough railway opened on 16 February 1859 serving the villages of Kelmarsh and Arthingworth. It was part of the London and North Western Railway. The station lost its passenger service on 4 January 1960. The line was re-opened for limited periods after that and not closed completely until 15 August 1981.

The historic village of Arthingworth has eight listed buildings. Chief amongst them is the impressive St Andrews Church, which is Grade II*-listed. The main structure of the church was erected in the 12th and 14th century and today it is a grand sight in the Northamptonshire countryside. Arthingworth is just north of the Brampton Valley Way, a 14-mile (22.5 km) trail that uses the course of the former Market Harborough to Northampton railway. The Bull's Head is a traditional drovers' inn, serves good food and has eight en suite rooms in a separate accommodation block.

The Brampton Valley Way is a 14-mile (22.5 km) trail that makes use of the former Market Harborough to Northampton railway line. It is popular with both walkers and cyclists and is described by Northamptonshire County Council as a linear park. There are two unlit tunnels along the Way, Kelmarsh at 964 feet (294 m) and Oxendon at 1,384 feet (422 m). If you don't want the experience of walking through them, there are bypass paths.

Park across the road in the small car park (or cycle here!) and set off along this lovely route (Sustrans Route 6) that goes all the way to Market Harborough. Make sure you bring your lights if you plan on going through the Kelmarsh and Oxenden tunnels! And stop for a drink or bite to eat at the Windhover Pub (to the right of the entrance) before setting off or on your return.

The tunnels are very dark and uneven so lights are a good idea, we managed with phone torches.

So good they named it several times! On various maps, I've found this route called "Northampton & Lamport railway", "Midshires Way", or "Brampton Valley Way"

Well maintained shaded path, good for walking, running, cycling.

This is the remains of an old passenger bridge over the disused Brampton Valley Way railway line. The track have been long gone but the cast-iron shell of this bridge remain.
