Lovely, easy gravel paths. Can get busy at weekends with walkers etc, so can be a bit slow going. But early morning, weekdays etc usually all pretty good.

Careful in the winter - this was pretty unrideable. Mainly grassy byway. Imagine it's super fun when dry!

Woodford Lock is located on the River Nene in Northamptonshire. The lock is set in a picturesque rural landscape surrounded by lush countryside. It's one of several locks along the River Nene, allowing boats to navigate the varying water levels of the river.

Nice stone bridge on the edge of Thrapston spanning a nice section of the Nene. Some nice parkland and benches nearby to take a rest, or head into Thrapston for pubs and shops.
