부턴 주변 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

I stopped at Windmill Farm just past the Oxendon tunnel. Cafe serves full breakfast, cakes and snacks.

Nice flat walk. quite corner of the nature

Pretty crossing over the River Nene with opportunities to deter from the path slightly and get closer to the river. The spot under the tree is a great place for a picnic during the warmer months.

The Bampton Valley Way is a 14-mile (22.5km) disused railway trail between Northampton and Market Harborough. It's a well surfaced multi-user trail, perfect for easy rides, families or as part of a commute. The trail follows a section of the old Northampton–Market Harborough railway line. It opened in 1859 and closed in 1981.

Pitsford Dam is an expansive reservoir surrounded by countryside. It was completed in the 1950s and serves as a vital water supply for the region. There are walking and cycling paths surrounding the lake and lots of beautiful landscaps and wildlife.

Watch out for the ants in summer!

which way 🤔 ???

Easter special 🐰

Some old trains are stationed on this old train station. the nearby pub is very nice and it's just a short stroll from there...

Traversed this ford numerous times, normally west to east, without problems. Trying to keep the bike straight through the water. However, the other day I was negotiating the ford and the front wheel washed out big-time pretty much as soon as it hit the water. I landed heavily on my right side. Fortunately no lasting damage. Not sure what went wrong - it had been raining a lot and it might have been the quantity of water going over the track or perhaps i didn't keep straight. Anyway please be careful.

An idyllic spot to pull up a picnic blanket and enjoy the views.

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

A great little cafe to fuel up before your walk. You can also hire bikes here if you'd prefer to cycle around the water.

Designed and built by George R Stephenson, the Northampton to Market Harborough line was opened in 1859 for L&NWR. The passenger service was finally withdrawn on 26th August 1973. This signal box remains from the Boughton stop on the line, which is now part of the re-opened heritage railway.

Part of the Northampton and Lamport Heritage Railway

Great trails. Seem to dry really quickly too.

Very wet and mucky in December!

Great views from the top of Merry Tom Lane

Good bike ride but rather wet under the tree cover in certain areas this time of year

Park across the road in the small car park (or cycle here!) and set off along this lovely route (Sustrans Route 6) that goes all the way to Market Harborough. Make sure you bring your lights if you plan on going through the Kelmarsh and Oxenden tunnels! And stop for a drink or bite to eat at the Windhover Pub (to the right of the entrance) before setting off or on your return.
