リアーズビーのおすすめツーリングルート

レスターシャー州ローダービーにあるオールセインツ教会は、「十字架の村」を意味するデンマーク起源の村に位置する、魅力的な13世紀の教会です。おそらく、ノルマン人以前の、はるかに古い敷地にあると思われます。この教会は現在、「チャンピング」（教会でのキャンプ）の注目すべき場所であり、ユニークな宿泊体験を提供しています。

主に花崗岩の砕石とレンガで造られたこの橋は、6つの明瞭に見えるアーチと、岸によって部分的に隠された7番目のアーチを持ち、低い胸壁と東側には3つの丸いウォーターバットレスを備えています。 かつては荷馬にとって重要な横断路でしたが、現在は主に浅瀬に隣接する歩行者用の施設となっており、レスターシャー・ラウンドを歩く人々によく利用されています。

Lovely place to be out with family

Cycling is only permitted on the one route through the park, which gets busy with walkers, take it slow in the park. Cafe and toilets in the middle.

In September 1867, 180 acres of land was purchased for a cost of £24,000. Most of the land required for the reservoir, dam and waterworks belonged to the Bradgate Estate. Lord Stamford insisted that a stone wall be built around the boundary to separate the deer park from the reservoir, instead of the proposed iron railings. This wall, 1,500 yards long was eventually built at a cost of 8s 10d per yard. Joseph Reeves, Head Gamekeeper, outside his house. Some of the Bradgate Estate land was part of the deer park, but most was farmland let out on very long leases. One farmer, Joseph Allen, lost virtually all his farm. Two members of the Matts family had theirs considerably reduced in size. The Gamekeeper’s house and land, together with a nearby bridge, were also in the area to be flooded. The house, together with its stables and outhouses, were demolished and the bricks sold. Part of the footpath between Anstey and Hallgates was submerged, as was the site of the old rabbit warren (or conery).

Bradgate Park was first enclosed as a deer park (for hunting) in the 12th Century. Herds of Red and Fallow Deer still roam freely across the Park's 800 acres today.The Park is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest for its importance as a wildlife habitat and its geological interest - the 600 million year old Precambrian rocks here are some of the oldest in England. Bradgate House, built around the year 1500, was one of the first unfortified, brick-built country houses in the country and was the childhood home of Lady Jane Grey and played an important role in the English Civil War. Abandoned in the 18th Century, the house is now an evocative ruin set in a landscape that has changed little since the house's heyday.
