Congerstone Canal Bridge

Highlight • River

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

National Cycle Network Route 52

Highlight • Trail

These lanes are typically quiet, but some drivers treat it like a racetrack, so please be careful.

Tip by

34.3 km

Prior Park Lane

Highlight • Trail

This is a gravel track that allows access to houses, it’s a dead end for cars at the Bath Grounds end, so really nice and quiet for cycling and avoids the busier routes around Ashby.

Tip by

Paddington Bear Statue

Highlight • Monument

Share a moment with Paddington, take a selfie, and eat at least 4 marmalade sandwiches 🥰🧸

Tip by

Donisthorpe Woodland Park

Highlight • Forest

Fantastic wide gravels tracks that are easy going on a mountain bike. Cycle through the 20Ha of newly planted woodland that includes Corsican pine, larch, oak, ash and cherry.
