Beautiful track for cycling or hiking. Depending on direction, downhill to Belton in Rutland or uphill to Riddlington.

Now an English Heritage site originally built in 1593 by Thomas Tresham. His other property, Liveden Neubeild is just north of Fermyn Country Park, from where I began today’s ride.

Well worth the stop to admire the exterior of both buildings, and the uplifting interior of St Andrews. Love the Angels and look for the painting of Edward the Confessor

A fine cafe stop with plenty of outside space for bikes and a good terrace. Good food too, from full breakfast to pastries and cakes.

This climb is a leg-burner, perfect for a serious workout. In reverse, it’s a scenic, enjoyable downhill, offering sweeping views of the countryside - so a rewarding ride in either direction.
