Brampton Valley Way
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!
