About the route

Starting point




Leicestershire
LE16 9FG

This ride takes us through Braybooke and then on to Arthingworth. We cross the main road at Kelmarsh and then take a traffic free track to Nasby, riding past "Fairfax's View" and the Battle of Naseby memorial. We head out of Naseby to Thornby (home of the cafe) and then retrace our tracks to Naseby before returning to Harborough via Clipston, Great Oxdenden and East Farndon. The route has a few hilly sections but nothing all that steep.

Route rating

This route takes us through Naseby and past some of the 1645 battle memorials. It includes a stop for coffee a the Buddhist World Peace cafe.

We ride on quiet country roads with little traffic.

We'll stop for breathers along the way and also take a break for refreshments at the World Peace cafe in Thornby.

You must wear a helmet on this ride. It's also a good idea to bring a spare inner tube just in case.!

We ride at a gentle pace chatting as we go and we never leave anyone to struggle on their own.
