Some sample routes for cycling to Rutland Villages and Churches.

Please Note: These routes are provided as examples and it is the responsibility of each cyclist (or parent/guardian) to satisfy themselves regarding safety of the route, but we have tried to minimise usage of busy "A" roads where possible.

These routes have been compiled using "Route Planner" but have been saved as .pdf files for ease of access and because not everyone has Excel. Print off and/or use Zoom to enlarge.

You can e-mail george.shepherd2@googlemail.com  with your favourites, always remember that they must be as safe as possible.
