Lovely ride all year round - puddles get bigger in winter, but no problem to ride!

When King Edward I’s beloved first wife, Eleanor of Castile, died in 1290, he spent three days in intense mourning, unable to leave the Nottinghamshire village of Harby where she died. He then led her funeral procession, journeying some 200 miles to London over many days. To commemorate Eleanor, Edward commissioned three tombs and had 12 stone crosses built to mark each place where her body rested overnight on its final journey. He employed the best masons in the land to build them. (Text from: https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/eleanor-cross-geddington/history/ )

Lots of great roads and trails nearby

Some big puddles in winter the whole width of the track - love it in summer though

Welham is a beautifully quaint little village sitting on the border of Leicestershire and Northamptonshire. It sits within the gorgeous Welland Valley, considered to be one of the most beautiful regions in the midlands. The village and its surrounding area is worth a visit year round. Be sure to pop into the Old Red Lion if you fancy a drink in front of the cosy log fire.

Also some nice views of the gravel road as it undulates into the distance

One of the more spectacular of the surviving Eleanor crosses. A good challenge is to ride the route of all the crosses from Lincoln to London. I and others did it raising money for the Great Ormond Street Hospital.

Lovely place for a picnic, but be aware that most of the routes out involve some serious climbing for this part of the world. Like Norfolk, not all Rutland is as flat as many think.
