Popular Cycling Cafe with good bike storage

Nice views

Top tip only park your bike on the left, (looking from the road) there is a sign to remind you when you arrive. Great service, nice little upstairs room when the weather isn’t so good, or sit outside side on warm sunny days, good value for money with the coffee and cake.

The cafe can get busy, be patient and relax 😁

Lovely at dawn. It's a rolling road so easy on the legs too.

Great and spacious carpark to start many cycle rides. Costs £3 a day (pay on exit with coins or download the app to pay with a card).

It's the perfect spot to hydrate, stretch, and simply appreciate nature before continuing to ride. Beware the thorns and sticks in spring time!

A fine cafe stop with plenty of outside space for bikes and a good terrace. Good food too, from full breakfast to pastries and cakes.

The tree that was felled had been the village Christmas tree with lights etc for years, and this seemed a good way to commemorate both it and the mining in the area. Lots of quiet lanes round about and the old Fosse Way can be found nearby.

This is a great road with fantastic views over the Leicestershire countryside. A short stop from here is the Whetstone Gorse fisheries which are lovely to walk around.

Bench for a rest with a view

Commonly known as Waterless, despite its abundance of springs and rivulets, Willoughby Waterleys features a Norman church and the charming Queen Anne house, The Limes, dating back to 1702. The village showcases historical landmarks such as the blue brick Old Hall from 1600 and the impressive Manor Farm.

Peatling Magna, formerly known as "Great Petlyng" and later as "Great Peatling," is a village in the Harborough district of south Leicestershire. The village's notable landmark is the Church of All Saints, primarily built during the 14th and 15th centuries, featuring fine examples of carved woodwork from different periods. In 1265, Peatling Magna gained national attention when, after the Battle of Evesham, the villagers refused to cooperate with the victorious royal forces, citing concerns for the welfare of the realm. This led to a court appearance recorded in the Plea Rolls of 1266, highlighting the village's resistance and reflecting communal ideas at the smallest village level in 13th-century England.

Get there before 11, fab outside space, bikes safe out the back (needs bike racks tho as used by cyclists)

Good road, one of my fave bits. It’s flat and the surface is pretty good so you can get some speed going as you race past the giant windmills in the fields.

Make sure you take an off road or gravel not a road bike like I did thinking it was a road 😡 Not all the bridleway is as nice as the stretch in the photo.

A nice quiet lane from Ashby Magna to Willoughby Waterleys, a fun stretch of road with a gentle downhill grade.

Weltons deli and cafe is good , a great stop off mid ride

The road is narrow

From Goadby village, take this road out into the country side. Enjoy the smooth easily rideable tarmac as you watch the road stretch out in front of you. Gentle twists and turns and easy manageable grades, quiet and great views all around.
