Too deep to cycle through this ford.

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.

Brinklow Castle is known locally as the Tump. It's a medieval motte and bailey castle based on a prehistoric long barrow and modified in the 11th century. It's quite large for this period with a 12m high motte and a 121m by 152m bailey. The grass mounds are still clearly visible.

Nice cafe inside, great looking building, C shape...

Single lane country road, may have mud and horse droppings in places, making it a bit slippery😊

Bridge and view of path to bridge a little further along is the ford itself...

It was a bit too deep to go through, so went back on myself

Brandon village with rain. These are the best riding shoes I have used, Shimano SPD sandals, raining: wear waterproof socks, cold: warm socks, sunny: no socks, perfect for all weather.

A little, friendly church with a Commonwealth graveyard built in 1770's

All the canal boats are just sleeping waiting for the Covid 19 to let them loose again...
