Nice little cafe for a mid-ride stop. There are bike racks but they're around the side of the cafe out of sight when you're inside, so bring bike locks if intending to eat/drink inside.

The Nene Whitewater Centre is the UK’s first pumped, artificial whitewater course, offering activities for all skill levels – from families to seasoned kayakers. Located alongside the River Nene, the recently updated centre also features a fantastic café with indoor and outdoor seating, perfect for walkers and cyclists stopping by for hot or cold refreshments.

This picturesque stretch of gravel trail runs along the Northampton Arm of the Grand Union Canal, offering charming views of canal boats and historic bridges to admire along the way.

This bridge spans both the River Nene and the Grand Union Canal on Northampton's southeastern side. The area is surrounded by lush greenery, and they are plenty of connecting cycle paths making it an ideal spot for scenic rides.

This has changed and only opens occasionally

The area is great, lots of paths and variety, but the route given sticks to busy roads where you have to keep your dog on a lead. It also directs you down a private drive with no public right of way. Come to the area and follow your nose, not this route.

Go a few hundred yards into the village and visit the Sun Inn (a proper pub with sensible prices) instead of the Cromwell

Grade II listed farmhouse and former water mill with mill pond. The mill was first built in the 11th century. In the late 1700s, it was taken over by the Spokes family. In 1815, the earlier buildings were demolished and the mill was rebuilt with locally quarried stone from nearby Duston. The Spokes family owned the mill until 2021.

Great looking coffee stop but unfortunately it was closed when I passed

In order to get from the canal to the footpath over the hill you have to cross the West Coast Main Line via the road bridge. There is no direct access to the bridge from the canal so you have to carry on to the next Canal bridge and follow the road round and over from there.

The church originated in the 12th century and is well worth a visit. It is a redundant Anglican church but still hosts occasional special services. https://www.visitchurches.org.uk/visit/church-listing/st-peter-and-st-paul-preston-deanery.html

easy walking whatever the weather

Whitewater training centre where families as well as more proficient kayaker can go.

Fantastic cafe located at the back of the Northampton Active white water centre building. Serving hot and cold drinks and food, ideal for passing walkers and cyclists. Inside and outside seating are both available.

The Nene Whitewater Centre was the UK’s first pumped, artificial whitewater course and has a wide range of activities based around the course, the river Nene which runs alongside and facilities in the recently updated building.

Beautiful old church and small but well kept graveyard and grounds, looked great in the sunshine and I'm sure the stained glass would be very impressive from the inside on a day like today.

Great for a walk with the dog, with friends or just on your tod. There are miles of criss-crossing paths to explore with access to the golf course on the far side (away from main entrance). There is roadside parking in front of the main entrance, though this can get full quickly on a nice day or at the weekend. An ice cream van parks here most busy days, selling the local Gallone's ice cream, along with all the classics. You can also visit the garden centre 328 feet (100 m) down from the forest entrance, where there is a cafe, shops and toilets.

This continues for many many miles and although rather bumpy in places it is, as you would expect, really flat. Surprisingly hard going along the less than smooth more rural parts of the canal.

Lovely trails and bridleways through undulating woodlands.

Covering 2.6 hectares Harlestone Heath is a beautiful nature reserve to the north-west of Northampton. The reserve flanks the Northampton railway line. A network of footpaths takes you through the rare heathland where you might spot green woodpeckers, siskins, and various butterflies.
