Punti salienti del percorso

Punti di interesse lungo il percorso

  1. Punto di interesse dopo 11,2 km

    Leave the bike tied up and walk for about 1 mile along the upper ridge above the River Trent. The Rock Shelter is atmospheric and well worth a visit!

  2. Punto di interesse dopo 19,4 km

    Moated Mound at Breedon-on-the-Hill submitted by ESgt Moated Mound at Breedon-on-the-HillArtificial Mound in Leicestershire and Rutland This site lies on the 46 degree solstice alignment of Castles and ancient sites which I discovered. It is on high ground, 115m, between the Bullwarks Hill Fort at Breedon-on-the-Hill and the ancient village in the Staunton Harold Estate. It is probably 5000 years old. Crop marks show large rectangular shapes adjacent. There are two more possible moated mounds nearby, like this one. The duck pond at Breedon Priory, and one in a corner of the golf course near he main road out of Breedon.

  3. Punto di interesse dopo 19,6 km

    Grace Dieu Priory Stone Standing Stone in Leicestershire and Rutland. This nearly 3' high squat stone lies in a field adjacent to and on the west side of the Grace Dieu Priory at Thringstone. It leans to the south and has a flat side aligned east-west. A notch in the top, possibly man-made, aligns north-south.

  4. Punto di interesse dopo 44,5 km

    Cat Hill Wood Stone Stone Standing Stone - probably modern - in Leicestershire and Rutland. This stone in Cat Hill Wood is nearly 8' high and is the tallest standing stone in the county.

  5. Punto di interesse dopo 44,5 km

    Altar Stone, Whitwick submitted by enkidu41 Altar Stone, WhitwickNear Whitwick in Leicestershire, a so-called druidical 'Altar Stone' to the north-west of Mount Saint Bernard Abbey, the first monastery to be established in England after the Dissolution. It is a large flat stone resting on other smaller stones. This seems unlikely to have anything to do with prehistoric Druids but may be the work of late eighteenth century gentry who had a fascination with the highly-imaginary 'revival' of Druidism that was then fashionable.

  6. Punto di interesse dopo 44,5 km

    Grey Hangman Stone submitted by enkidu41 Grey Hangman StoneStanding Stone in Leicestershire and Rutland. Located near Oaks in Charwood at at the edge of a small oak wood and due north of a small pond this 3' high stone stands in the shade of an oak tree. An inexplicable oval-shaped mound standing about a foot above the current field level surrounds both the stone and the tree. The mound may be made up of stones cleared from the field and may therefore obscure a further 1' or more of the stone.

  7. Punto di interesse dopo 44,5 km

    Cat Hill Wood Stone submitted by enkidu41 Cat Hill Wood StoneStanding Stone - probably modern - in Leicestershire and Rutland. This stone in Cat Hill Wood is nearly 8' high and is the tallest standing stone in the county. This does not appear to be ancient and may have been erected in the early part of the twentieth century by Boy Scouts from the nearby camp.

  8. Punto di interesse dopo 44,5 km

    Beacon Hill (Leicestershire) Beacon Hill (Leicestershire)Beacon Hill is a lovely country park in Leicestershire with spectacular rock formations and marvellous views. Less well known is the hill fort which is believed to be of Late Bronze Age date.

  10. Punto di interesse dopo 46,1 km

    Bradgate Hunt's Hill Stone Standing Stone in Leicestershire. Although this 5 foot stone was certainly erected by humans Bob Trubshaw (see talk next month in Leicester) is of the opinion that it was a bunch of 20th century Boy Scouts! He doesn't elaborate on his reasons however. Situated just outside Bradgate Park in Leicestershire at Grid Ref SK524116, turn left at the public toilets and enter the wood to it's left. The stone stands right in the middle by a large Holly bush. Several recumbant stones surround the stone and there is a possible cist just to the west (other side of the bush).

  11. Punto di interesse dopo 48,5 km

    Stoney Stanton Standing Stone in Leicestershire and Rutland. A stone nearly 6' high and 3' wide standing at the entrance to an industrial unit. 3 faces are flat and 2 are vertical to form a right angle. It is probably modern and erected as a monument to the local massive quarries.

  12. Punto di interesse dopo 48,5 km

    Huncote Stone StoneStanding Stone in Leicestershire and Rutland. This stone is at the roadside on the boundary of Huncote and Croft parishes. It was formerly embedded in a tree trunk and was removed and subsequently replaced (but possibly not in the exactly the same place) in about 1970 during road repair work.

  13. Punto di interesse dopo 48,5 km

    Standing Stone in Leicestershire and Rutland. This recumbent boulder of gritty sandstone is just under 3' long and lies to the western edge of the churchyard of St. Martin's Church in Desford.

    King Richards's Well submitted by enkidu41 King Richards's WellHoly Well in Leicestershire and Rutland. King Richard's Well dates to 1813 and is, predictably, the place where Richard III is reputed to have drunk before the Battle of Bosworth. The present structure was restored or rebuilt in 1985.

  15. Punto di interesse dopo 56,5 km

    Wigstone Parva Henge in Leicestershire and Rutland. Cropmarks show triple concentric ring-ditches with the inner ring interrupted to provide a possible entrance. This is either a henge or possibly a causewayed barrow.

  16. Punto di interesse dopo 60,2 km

    Fenny Drayton Barrow submitted by gautrek Fenny Drayton BarrowRound Barrow in Leicestershire and Rutland A nice bowl barrow mound in a field. It is easy to get to as it just at the side of the road (which is the old Roman Mancetter road). It is about 25 metres in dia and 2.5 metres high. (Verified by MagicMap - Thorgrim)

  17. Punto di interesse dopo 129,7 km

    Anchor Church Cave or Rock Shelter in Derbyshire Four interconnected sandstone caves on a backwater previous portion of R.Trent. Said to have been the hermitage of St. Hardulph.

  18. Punto di interesse dopo 129,7 km

    St Wystan's (Repton) Early Christian Sculptured Stones & Saxon Crypt in Derbyshire St Wystan's, Repton is hugely significant, being the main home of the Mercian royal family for near 300 years. Due to the considerable spread of Mercia at the time, it is also arguably the site of a former capital of Great Britain, as we now have it. A near perfectly preserved Saxon Crypt is the main must-see attraction, with some fragments of Saxon stones in the porch, and some mounted on the walls. See the official Church Website for extensive details for everything you would need to know. It also has the tallest spire in South Derbyshire, and situated next to the noted school, it is hard to miss.
