Take a break, read or swap books at the Acorn Barn.

Friendly staff. Cracking selection for a cyclist on a long ride on the A5.

Ventilation chimney for the grand Union Canal Tunnel below wow.

Gayton is a lovely hilltop village that enjoys splendid views of the Northamptonshire countryside. It is not far from the Grand Union Canal and the remarkable Blisworth Tunnel, one of the longest canal tunnels in the world. The remains of what was probably a Roman temple were discovered half a mile (0.8 km) to the south east of the village.

Just south of Northampton, Blisworth is a pleasant village on the Grand Union Canal. It has long been associated with rail travel and a station was built here for the London to Birmingham line, as well as a majestic arched bridge, designed by Robert Stephenson. The station has since gone but the West Coast Mainline passes close to the village. As well as the canal's towpath, nearby Salcey Forest will also interest walkers. There are a range of facilities and three waymarked walking trails that explore the woodland.

This landmark is a ventilation tunnel for the Grand Union Canal, which passes under the field through the Blisworth Tunnel at this point.

Tucked just behind the shops on Chantry lane, the Gothic Medieval church of St Lawrence provides an area of calm reflection away from the bustle of town. The ancient grounds (dating back to at least 921 AD) are well maintained and contain a number of old trees, the Yew being especially old.

Be on the lookout for muntjack deer! I have seen these here a couple of times, mainly towards the main road end of the park, near the river banks in the taller shrubs and grasses.

Lovely quiet spot just off Towcesters main Street and not far from the central shops. well maintained paths and lots of grassed areas make it a nice place to get away from the centre of Towcester.

Horse and more recently greyhound racing at the famous Towcester racecourse, you can glimpse the tracks and main building through the main gates and as you ride around the wall surrounding the grounds. Worth checking if there are any events running during your visit as the grounds host a number of events throughout the year.

Nestled behind the main shopping street in Towcester is this unassuming mound of historic earth. Now turned into a small park area with a spiral path to the top you can get views over the rooftops of the town centre. Bury Mount and Water Meadows park (just a couple of minutes North East by bike), won the restoration category at the Museums and Heritage Awards 2011 beating Westminister Abbey which came second. The mount is the restored remains of what is thought to be a 12th century motte and bailey fortification.
