리어스비 최고의 사이클링 경로

레스터셔 로더비에 있는 올 세인츠 교회는 십자가 마을을 의미하는 덴마크 뿌리에서 유래한 마을에 위치한 매력적인 13세기 교회입니다. 아마도 노르만 이전의 훨씬 더 오래된 부지에 자리 잡고 있을 것입니다. 오늘날 이 교회는 독특한 숙박 시설을 제공하는 "챔핑"(교회 캠핑)으로 유명한 장소입니다.

주로 화강암 조약돌과 벽돌로 지어진 이 다리에는 6개의 뚜렷하게 보이는 아치와 강둑에 부분적으로 가려진 7번째 아치가 있으며, 낮은 난간과 동쪽 면에 3개의 둥근 컷워터가 있습니다. 과거에는 짐마차를 끄는 말들의 중요한 통로였으나, 현재는 주로 포드 옆의 보행자 통로로 이용되며, 종종 레스터셔 라운드를 걷는 사람들이 이용합니다.

Quality food and coffee. Cycle friendly

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.
