A well stocked shop and pub which is the perfect place for a cycle pitstop. No worries about queues, locking up bike etc.... Bench seating outside the pub with some shade from the trees. Minimal detour even if you're on the lap of the reservoir

Woodford Lock is located on the River Nene in Northamptonshire. The lock is set in a picturesque rural landscape surrounded by lush countryside. It's one of several locks along the River Nene, allowing boats to navigate the varying water levels of the river.

Don't follow Komoot strictly (like I did) ๐ - obey the signs from farmer/landowner & NCN signs - small mistakes can be forgiven, I suppose, when we new to the area.

The cycle path along the top of the dam is wide and flat and gives great views across the reservoir. Reach it from the Visitor Centre at the northern end although access at the southern end is trickier as you have to squeeze through a narrow gap next to a locked gate by the main road.
