Shenton Church and village are very picturesque

Market Bosworth is famously near to the site of the decisive final battle of the Wars of the Roses. The Battle of Bosworth occurred just south of the town in 1485, marking the conclusive and significant clash in the Wars of the Roses between the House of Lancaster and the House of York. This historic engagement ultimately led to the demise of King Richard III. The town is also known for its beautiful flower displays in the Leicestershire in Bloom competition.

Teeny tiny hamlet! There is a cute farm, and the sheep are adorable!

Beautiful little hamlet

Sustrans NCN Route 52 is fantastic! Try to avoid at rush hour as some drivers are a little less than courteous when overtaking

Historically held by Radulfus Basset in 1166, the name of this village signifies 'farm/settlement on a hill.' The village witnessed the opening of the Great Central main railway line in 1899, with a station named after nearby Ashby Magna. Today, Dunton Bassett is known for the Dunton Bassett Arms pub, a primary school and a village hall donated by successful Leicester builder Orson Wright. The village's cricket club, established in 1870, actively participates in leagues, and the community once thrived with a combined shop and post office, though the latter closed in 2018.

There’s a few nice little homes and a decent view from atop the hill. Round the bend and down you go!

Beautiful little hamlet - the church is so pretty!

Nice cafe next to canal. (See Google for opening times.)

The tranquil Ashby Canal is so level it's famous for having no locks at all. Perfect if you are in in search of a gentle and pretty route. The canal never reached the town of Ashby that it is named after. Instead it winds peacefully through the countryside for almost the entire 22-mile length.

Bosworth and Ashby canal to hicks lodge great for biking

They do a very acceptable coffee and cake for those moments when you've earnt the extra calories ;-)

Brilliant cafe just off the road, with an ice cream serving boat. What more do you need on a summers day.

No through route but very pretty - bluebell heaven in April/May

Great cafe - really friendly to cyclists serving hot food at great prices. We stopped here whilst on a 126 mile audax for refreshments. There are good toilets too and the staff are really friendly and accommodating
