Cycling
Yarwell Mill Country Park is a great spot to have as a base if you are a cyclist. You will have countless quiet country roads to choose from as you plan your ride and some idyllic country scenery as your backdrop. Being set in Northamptonshire, don’t expect any significant undulation though.
