イーストファーンドンでの 周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

long dark wet tunnel. Great fun.

Nice little cafe. Outside ok for bikes and nice toilets. Egg and bacon baguette recommended

Can be wet, slippy and very dark! Make sure that you have your lights! If you're on road tyres I would advise walking. Mountain and Gravel bikes are suitable to ride through.

An interesting ride with lovely views

Wide open countryside, challenging, beware unexpected vehicles

There is a good coffee shop at Waterloo Farm Leisure just off Brampton Valley Way about half a mile from the Great Oxendon tunnel entrance on the Market Harborough side.

Interesting experience! Need good lights as obviously it is very dark. Surface is not good, quite a few puddles and potholes, need to take it steady. The notices at the entrance actually advise getting off and pushing your bike through but I wouldn’t have thought this was necessary if you were a reasonably good rider and had lights. I rode through OK although got a puncture!

A lovely cool blast of air on these warm summer days.

Ace mechanic and bike shop, recommended 👍

The marina at Union Wharf is at the end of the Market Harborough arm of a peaceful stretch of the Grand Union canal which meanders through the rural Leicestershire landscape.

Lots of uneven wet ground so weat suitable footwear

"Service is everything" at Mega Bike. Helpful independent bike shop, ideal for spares and repairs if you're passing through.

A nice option for a stop on the edge of Little Bowden. Prepare to do a bit of climbing when you leave though, if heading south.

Great stop for food and drinks in the sun.

This tunnel has no lighting - so have a light of some kind at the ready.

Located at the lower edge of the field the stone is difficult to spot from the footpath. It is quite possible the most unimpressive monolith you are ever likely to see. It is allegedly volcanic in origin and does not match the local geology. Possibly originally a marker for a parish or estate boundary.

How often do you get to cycle through a disused railway tunnel?

Milo's for refreshments

Lovely hot chocolate 🍫

Fantastic cake & hot choclate
