웨스트 해던 최고의 라이딩 경로

Very rough tarmac and often muddy, perfect gravel bike territory

Definitely no canal in Cottersbrooke!

Excellent little shop for refuelling !

Great coffee and vegan cake options.

Stroll through the streets of this wonderful canal village deep in the Northamptonshire countryside.

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.

From the direction we came from (railway path) there's a steep hill to get over, especially when fully laden, but the coffee and food is worth it. There's also a Co-op shop over the road for snacks!
