Entrance to Oxendon Tunnel The northern entrance to Oxendon Tunnel. Once a railway tunnel it now forms part of the Midshires Way and is accessible to cyclists and walkers.

Track to Arthingworth Taken looking east from the site of Clipston &amp; Oxendon station on what is now the Midshires Way. No doubt the pub sign is intended to attract walkers, although a visit would take them over a kilometre out of their way.

Sheep near Great Oxendon Sheep on the gated road between Great Oxendon and Clipston. The cattle grid did not faze the animals, although they were wary of photographers! Note the two hot air balloons.

Lane to Great Oxendon Looking along the narrow lane from East Farndon - Great Oxendon in blustery overcast conditions. The lane forms part of the Jurassic Way long distance path.

Old Railway Trackbed near Great Oxendon A stretch of the former Northampton - Market Harborough railway in light drizzle. This now forms part of National Cycle Network route 6 and is popular with both cyclists and walkers.

Trackbed of Old Railway near Great Oxendon The former Northampton - Market Harborough railway, now a cycle path, to the north of Oxendon Tunnel. At this point the route crosses a culverted stream; heavy overnight rain has caused a sizeable pool of water to form - fortunately easily avoided by cyclists and walkers.

Ventilation Shaft, Oxendon Tunnel Looking upwards from the bottom of Oxendon Tunnel to the top of the ventilation shaft, located about half way along this 418 metre long tunnel. The tunnel was last used for trains in 1984 and is now a cycle way and footpath. Although lights have been installed they are not normally lit, so walking through (without a torch) is not for the faint-hearted!

Bridleway to Great Oxendon The bridleway is the very muddy track leading off the former railway trackbed. It then crosses over the top of Oxendon Tunnel to reach Great Oxendon village, which is to the west of the old railway.

Approaching Oxendon Tunnel Cyclists and walkers on this former railway trackbed are about to plunge into the stygian gloom of Oxendon Tunnel. Walkers are offered an alternative, but it is much less fun.
