Great Little Cafe with Friendly Staff. Indoor and Outdoor Seating. Not much room for bikes but solo or small groups definitely worth a stop if you are passing.

The charming village of Monks Kirby is set in a nice shallow valley, with only about two hundred houses. It is small and picturesque. It is a historical hamlet with St. Edith’s church in the village going back to the 11th century, and this is the dominant architectural feature in the area with its large tower. The lanes around the village are ideal for cycling, they are quieter than you might think considering their proximity to the M6.

Good backdrop for a photo in the evening around this time of year

Excellent little shop for refuelling !

A lovely stop with seating inside or outside. Modern Cafe And Delicatessen Serving Hot And Cold Drinks, Light Bites, Homemade Cakes, Pies and much more

The road outside maked as delightful approach into Ashby St ledgers

Where maps and the British landscape are concerned, Cold Ashby has something of a claim to fame. It was here, on 18 April 1936, that the Ordnance Survey's first trig pillar was erected, starting the Retriangulation of Great Britain, which saw over 11,000 pillars installed in order to accurately map the land. Unsurprisingly, given Cold Ashby's selection as a trig point venue, it occupies high ground. In fact, this is the highest village in Northamptonshire, at 656 feet (200 m) above sea level.

Stanford Reservoir lies on the border of Leicestershire and Northamptonshire. It requires a permit to visit, but you can enjoy views from the road.
