코트틴홀 최고의 러닝 경로

I said I wanted a room with a view.

Opened on 1st May 1815, the Northampton Arm of the Grand Union Canal includes 17 locks and connects the canal with the River Nene in Northampton.

Series of descending locks travelling towards Northampton (or ascending if you're going the other way towards Stoke Bruerne). Fairly wide in places so it's easy to build up a fair bit of speed downhill, but bear in mind it's a canal towpath so there will be walkers... ride sensibly, announce your presence and be ready to slow down for pedestrians👍

Some nice Graphiti under the bridge

Nice place to stop and re fue, some wire sculptures and picnic area.

Beautiful views of the locks going down to Northampton in the distance. Great ride from Gayton Junction to the River Nene

The church originated in the 12th century and is well worth a visit. It is a redundant Anglican church but still hosts occasional special services. https://www.visitchurches.org.uk/visit/church-listing/st-peter-and-st-paul-preston-deanery.html

Might not be much to look at to the uninitiated, but it's an interesting piece of engineering going on here to cram everything in... as well as the canal lock with it's wall art, look up and you have Britain's first motorway passing directly over you head - junction 15a of the M1. Also a handy place to wait out the rain!
