그레이트 해로든 주변 최고의 사이클링 경로

Miles of walk/run/cycleway in a beautiful area with lots to see & do. Lots of families out enjoying the sunshine today

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.

Traditional cafe serving breakfast, sandwiches, and cakes. very reasonably priced, always busy, decent food!

Fresh doughnuts daily, decent coffee, and milkshakes too!

Great spot to take in the views across Pitsford Arm.

Woodford Lock is located on the River Nene in Northamptonshire. The lock is set in a picturesque rural landscape surrounded by lush countryside. It's one of several locks along the River Nene, allowing boats to navigate the varying water levels of the river.

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.

One of the best cafes in the area by far, great food / service. Can’t say I’ve had a bad time here in MANY trips !

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.

Get up close to the Pitsford Water dam and enjoy expansive views over the glassy waters.

A lovely coffee and exceptional cannoli. There is a cycle rack across the road in the market carpark, which is visible from the cafe tables on the street. I will be returning here again :)

Lots of uneven wet ground so weat suitable footwear

A pretty stone bridge to get to the equally pretty stone village of Turvey. Good views of the River Great Ouse and the wildlife that lives there.

The visitors centre is the hub of all the great things that take place at Stanwick Lake. Not only is there cycling, walking and running, but fishing, assualt courses and all manner of other adventures.
