Brampton Valley Way
Distance: 15 miles
sat nav: NN6 9BD
Connecting Market Harborough and Northampton via a high quality traffic-free cycle path through the stunning Leicestershire and Northamptonshire countryside, the Brampton Valley Way provides the perfect opportunity for a family day out. The route follows one of the longest dismantled railway paths in the country. Along this railway line there is a series of tunnels which add a bit of excitement to the cycle ride as these are approximately 500 m long with no light, except a ventilation shaft in the middle – Beware these tunnels are pitch black so make sure you are prepared!

In May 2023, they opened the doors to a new development of beautifully designed buildings at the rear of the site, nearest to Rutland Water. The space includes a large lifestyle shop, a 100-seater restaurant, and a striking glasshouse.
With a focus on offering something truly unique, they’ve curated a collection of beautiful items inspired by nature, life, art, and creativity — all with the aim of inspiring and informing everyone who visits.
These themes continue through a range of events and workshops held throughout the year in their wellbeing space, The Loft, which also hosts regular yoga and Pilates classes.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome throughout most of the site, with the exception of the lifestyle shop.
