Country pub with stone walls, modern decor and a stylish garden terrace, plus a gastropub menu. Plenty of room for bikes, serves tea and coffee, excellent Sunday lunches. Toilets immaculate and staff friendly and helpful. Closed Monday and Tuesday from 1730 Wed Thurs Fri. 1200 Sat and Sunday. Well worth a stop.

Very nice village and quiet roads coming down from King's Cliffe and beyond

The stone bridge and high street are so pretty and peaceful it’s a bit of a shock to find you’re actually just a stone’s throw from two busy A roads. There is a slightly hidden bike path to take you under the A1 if you look for it.

Elton is a ridiculously pretty village and it has a great pub as well, just to put the 🍒 on the 🧁.

Take a short walk down beautiful Duck Street to reach this historic thatched country-inn pub in the heart of Elton. Enjoy award-winning food and a great selection of beers and wine.

Standing tall above the serene River Nene sits the ruins of this fascinating historic site, Fotheringay Castle. Explore medieval history and enjoy beautiful landscape views as you wander around.

Neat village just a few miles from the Nene Valley heritage railway. A quiet lane runs west to Kingscliffe. Watch out for the WWII airfield memorial on the south side of this lane.
