View of Cropston Reservoir

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.
