スタンフォードのおすすめツーリングルート

What inevitably catches the eye of the passing cyclist are the modern heirs of the beautiful historic windmills. Centuries ago, our ancestors were clever enough to use the power of the wind for their own purposes, by driving millstones and grinding grain into flour, for example. Often placed in the landscape in dozens, this modern and unaesthetic variant - in the past, people took great care to design the architecture of each individual mill - is used to generate electricity. These wind farms are not without controversy, as they are often built without consideration for the landscape, and above all, the slender blades can become a death trap for birds.

Private track despite what komoot says

Stanford Reservoir lies on the border of Leicestershire and Northamptonshire. It requires a permit to visit, but you can enjoy views from the road.

Nice bench for a quick breather

There are only 280 people living there, in 2011 census, you pass through very quickly but a lovely village and a very large church so so few people.

From the bridge there were so many yellow water lilies and reeds, wild life was abundant...

In the distance is Standford Hall, with a campsite to one side and what looks like a deer park...
