Cottesbrooke Circuit from Brampton Valley Way

This ride will start out from the car park opposite the Windhover pub on Brampton Lane at the junction of the Brampton Valley Way / A5199. It will take us along  the Brampton Valley Way and then a bridleway and very quiet country lanes to make a loop around the pretty village of Cottesbrooke, with lovely views of Cottesbrooke Hall and its estate. We will return to the Brampton Valley Way with a short detour off it for a cafe stop at Brampton Stables. Most of the ride is on well-surfaced disused railway line plus some tarmac lanes and a short stony farm track. It is suitable for hybrid bikes, road bikes with wider tyres or mountain bikes with thinner tyres. It would be good to bring a drink and snacks to eat along the way and some money for the cafe. Wearing a helmet is advisable; if you don’t have one, please do not to worry as you can still take part.  If you enjoy the bike ride and would like to come again, perhaps you could look to buy one then.  We really welcome newcomers to our rides; we will always ride at the pace of the slowest rider so no one is left behind.  If you have any questions, please contact me on 07957 251824. Look forward to seeing you!
