Beautiful canal and field views in South Leicestershire near Wistow. Ideal place for a picnic or a rest stop or a skinny dip when the weather allows :-)

The main canal side building (middle of the three) is the oldest dating back to circa 1800, with the other two more modern. There is also a traditional working canal side crane. The wharf was built to support the development of the canal and road junction at Kilby Bridge and the movement of goods. source: https://www.wigstonhistoricalsociety.co.uk/Kilby_Bridge.html

This slightly crooked Leicester Canal tunnel was constructed in 1797 and is 808 metres long and available for two way working for boats of 3.96 metres or less beam and maximum of 2.13 metres high. The tunnel does not have an internal towpath - if walking or cycling along the Leicester Canal's towpath then follow the marked route which goes up and over the hillside directly following the tunnel's subterranean route. Saddington Feeder Arm connects the Leicester Canal with Saddington Reservoir - fed by water from Saddington and Laughton Brooks, the reservoir was constructed in the 1790s as a water source for the canal. source: http://www.grandunioncanal.co.uk/Saddington-Tunnel.html

Thorns are abundantly scattered along the path, probably due to trimming. Punctured both tyres, and met a family who had suffered the same fate on all their bikes.

A beautiful and unique Georgian pedestrian promenade that links the western, historic part of the city centre with Victoria Park - originally a racecourse. This is a 'must-walk' in Leicester, it is beautiful day and night, all year round.

A popular local park in the southern part of Leicester

still fun on a hard tail but definitely better suited to full suspension bikes. Make sure you have plenty of water, rough 7th gear on a 21 speed Carrera Kraken.

Vicki park, a massive green space near the city centre, gets very busy on summer weekends, once the site of Radio 1s big weekend.
