a lovely country ride on 80% quiet lanes with a good mix of gentle hills and loads of canal bridges, good biking for all levels.
Landmarks/Pubs for lunch/Sites to see?
plenty of pubson route and market bosworth at near halfway is a very pretty little town with cafes and restaurants, just a few yards off route is bosworth battlefield, and when you get back to base a pint and some lunch available lovely.
Did this for the Charity Bike Ride last August Bank Holiday. Good ride, great people, not crowded. Started and ended at Fox Inn, Higham. Great welcome and free burger for riders! Will be back this year - my Bank Hol treat. Its in aid of Acorns this year.

Very little traffic, not many hills, good for all the family and you can get a good time if you like.
Nice scenary on the way passing by historic Battle of Bosworth site and through Market Bosworth though Market Square.
Fox pub in Higham organises an annual event for charity starting and ending at the pub with drinks and a burger at the end. Very friendly atmosphere.
Recommended for all.

Lovely villages, lots of pubs, but take a map as the signposting on the roads is poor.
