Embark on a moderate mountain biking adventure through the Leicestershire countryside with the From Croxton Kerrial to Belvoir Castle loop. This 20.1 miles (32.3 km) route will challenge you with 871 feet (265 metres) of elevation gain, taking approximately 2 hours and 25 minutes to complete. You'll experience a mix of terrain, from rolling paths to some technical sections, all while enjoying expansive views across the Vale of Belvoir and catching glimpses of the majestic Belvoir Castle perched on its escarpment.
For the best experience, plan your ride during dry conditions, as some valley sections can become wet and uneven, and a technical descent may have ruts. The route includes some road sections, so stay alert, especially when crossing the A607. You can typically find parking in Croxton Kerrial, which serves as the convenient starting point for this loop.
Beyond the physical challenge, this route offers a journey through charming English villages like Branston, Knipton, and Harston, showcasing traditional rural life. You'll also pass by Croxton Park and the Knipton reservoir, adding to the diverse scenery. The highlight remains Belvoir Castle, a historic landmark visible from various points, providing a grand backdrop to your ride.
