Take a moment to enjoy the view

Holcot Lane offers stunning countryside views as you make your way along it. Continuing east leads you to Pitsford Water Reservoir, a must-visit spot well worth a stop.

When King Edward I’s beloved first wife, Eleanor of Castile, died in 1290, he spent three days in intense mourning, unable to leave the Nottinghamshire village of Harby where she died. He then led her funeral procession, journeying some 200 miles to London over many days. To commemorate Eleanor, Edward commissioned three tombs and had 12 stone crosses built to mark each place where her body rested overnight on its final journey. He employed the best masons in the land to build them. (Text from: https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/eleanor-cross-geddington/history/ )

Great place very friendly

A local cyclists hot spot. Plenty of outside space and loads of good food to choose from.

A favourite with local cyclists. Very nicely paved road, very few cars.

Nice pit stop

One of the more spectacular of the surviving Eleanor crosses. A good challenge is to ride the route of all the crosses from Lincoln to London. I and others did it raising money for the Great Ormond Street Hospital.
