The church isn't level inside! It's well worth popping in. The VE Day memorial is very well done and worth a closer look.

Well worth a visit, just to see the Vulcan Bomber.

Might stop one day and have a proper look at the fort

A quiet pitstop to refuel with snacks and recharge before the next stretch; Co-op nearby...

The charming village of Monks Kirby is set in a nice shallow valley, with only about two hundred houses. It is small and picturesque. It is a historical hamlet with St. Edith’s church in the village going back to the 11th century, and this is the dominant architectural feature in the area with its large tower. The lanes around the village are ideal for cycling, they are quieter than you might think considering their proximity to the M6.

Once the bustling post office of the village of Wolston, this building has now been converted into a beautiful cottage.

Excellent 8km cycling with great views and rest areas.
