Ye Olde Pork Pie Shoppe

Highlight • Cafe

Home of the original pork pie - the special seasonal editions and cheese topped ones add a nice extra layer of flavour to the classic.

Sandy Lane

Highlight • Cycleway

A particularly scenic single track road with gates at both ends to deter motor traffic.

Tip by

6.61 km

An off-road trail that is probably only usable in good weather. Well worth the detour if the sun is shining as it cuts through some lovely countryside and sees very little traffic (serving the farm at the south end).

Newbold Road

Highlight • Cycleway

A scenic gated lane on the National Cycle Network and on the route of the Rutland-Melton International Classic. Due to the gates it’s unpopular with motor traffic, which makes it particularly enjoyable.
