Decisive battle of the English Civil War

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

This climb is a leg-burner, perfect for a serious workout. In reverse, it’s a scenic, enjoyable downhill, offering sweeping views of the countryside - so a rewarding ride in either direction.

lovely cafe, great choice and all freshly prepared to order

Excellent little shop for refuelling !

Weltons deli and cafe is good , a great stop off mid ride

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.

Nice bit of single track stretching through a nice field. There may or may not be cows roaming about the place and also watch out for cattle grids!
