Top tip only park your bike on the left, (looking from the road) there is a sign to remind you when you arrive. Great service, nice little upstairs room when the weather isn’t so good, or sit outside side on warm sunny days, good value for money with the coffee and cake.

What inevitably catches the eye of the passing cyclist are the modern heirs of the beautiful historic windmills. Centuries ago, our ancestors were clever enough to use the power of the wind for their own purposes, by driving millstones and grinding grain into flour, for example. Often placed in the landscape in dozens, this modern and unaesthetic variant - in the past, people took great care to design the architecture of each individual mill - is used to generate electricity. These wind farms are not without controversy, as they are often built without consideration for the landscape, and above all, the slender blades can become a death trap for birds.

Historically held by Radulfus Basset in 1166, the name of this village signifies 'farm/settlement on a hill.' The village witnessed the opening of the Great Central main railway line in 1899, with a station named after nearby Ashby Magna. Today, Dunton Bassett is known for the Dunton Bassett Arms pub, a primary school and a village hall donated by successful Leicester builder Orson Wright. The village's cricket club, established in 1870, actively participates in leagues, and the community once thrived with a combined shop and post office, though the latter closed in 2018.
