Rothley Railway Station

Highlight • Monument

Norths deli next to railway bridge is great for pastries, cheese straws etc if your peckish. of you want a hot drink try the cafe at the railway station. At weekends I'm fairly sue you could put your bike on the stream train and get a lift to Loughborough or Leicester North if you fancy an alternative to pedalling.

Nunckley Hill Station

Highlight • Historical Site

A heritage centre entre stands on the site of the abandoned Nunckley granite quarry. A branch railway line was constructed in 1897 and conveyed over 100,000 tons of ballast from the quarry for the construction of the Great Central Railway. The quarry was closed in 1924 and the branch line in 1964. Work to restore the line started in 2007 and the site, including a heritage centre, coffee shop and railway station was opened to the public in 2016.
