This charming duck pond is nestled in the picturesque village of Willoughby. A nearby bench offers a perfect place to rest and recharge, and just a short stroll away is The Rose Inn, a lovely village pub.

Beautiful village

Info points on interesting features, including civil war battle display in the church

At the foot of Edge hill. Nice little town.

Both John Steinbeck & Jimmy Dean would be impressed!

No ticket for the gardens is required if you you want to just use the cafe. You can find the café at the back of the New Inn, via the plant centre. Enjoy your refreshments inside or take a seat in one of the two outdoor courtyards (I think the Farmyard Courtyard it better if you want to eat outside with your bike)

Tough climb, starts off a bit easier, but ramps up further into the climb, so don't go too hard to start with!

....an honour shared with The Countryman in Staverton, both a lofty 172m

....an honour shared with The Red Lion at Hellidon, both a lofty 172m by my reckoning

Great to walk around looks very impressive

Nice church good for a wonder to grave yard was closed due to downed trees

Well kept and beautiful great for walking around

Beautifully kept gardens with lots of fruit trees

Beautiful place to walk around look out for the musket holes

A nice farm shop café. At time of writing Aug 2022 The Hayloft inside seating is closed but good outside seating options

St John the Baptist church, a beautiful place to take a moment mid-ride. You can walk all around the church and marvel at the architecture.

Decent gradient for the whole climb, just settle in and spin to the top.

Shallow ford at bottom of the valley here.

"A tranquil Tudor manor house set in rare terraced gardens, with the 'antient' Dryden family at its heart Built by the Drydens using the remains of a medieval priory, the house and gardens have survived largely unaltered since 1710 and are presented as they were during the Victorian era. The warm, welcoming house features grand rooms, stunning tapestries and Jacobean plasterwork, contrasting with the domestic detail of the servants' quarters. Stroll in the historic parkland and catch glimpses of early medieval landscapes, while a wander through the priory church reveals the story of the canons of Canons Ashby."

Very open flat fast lane through stunning farm fields to really give the legs a burst.
