Good for grabbing a well earned rest after your hill climbs. Tea and cakes on Sunday afternoon too!

Excellent little shop for refuelling !

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.

The source of the River Welland issues as a spring at Spring Croft, Church Street in Sibbertoft.

A fun climb, not too hard with a great view. Well worth it.

At the source of the River Welland, Sibbertoft is a pretty Northamptonshire village that boasts several listed buildings, notably its Grade II*-listed parish church. You can seek accommodation and good food at the Red Lion.

This attractive Northamptonshire village lies on the route of the Jurassic Way long-distance footpath and is an important stop off just above Watford Gap. There are a number of amenities for walkers, including three pubs, one of which has rooms for the night. There are also bed and breakfast options and a grocery store.

Stunning views across the valley as you leave or head towards Market Harborough.

One of my favourite stretches. Easy to find some gravel round there too if that's your thing.

There are only 280 people living there, in 2011 census, you pass through very quickly but a lovely village and a very large church so so few people.

In the distance is Standford Hall, with a campsite to one side and what looks like a deer park...
