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.

Just tried out route with view to doing it next weekend for Acorns Chariity ride. Felt great, beautiful scenery, very little traffic, no mountains!! Looking forward to free BBQ at Fox on return.

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.
