Touring Leicestershire 

My dad been her 60years and I've grown up her now 36 and i drived in all of this road shown in the video strangely satisfying thanks

All very familiar I used to walk and cycle much of this route on pleasant summer days. I didn't know the arboretum near Evington was a prisoner of war camp. However I can just remember when it was just a field. It's some time since visiting Gaulby, it used to have a simple gravity powered clock with an hour hand and no minutes. It was driven by a rock dangling on a rope wrapped around a cylinder near the top of the tower. No idea if that is still the case.

What a lovely idea, and a lovely drive! It was like being in the car with you!

Thanks for that; its my old stamping ground, a lot of school-mates came from the villages. But on a bicycle the villages have a different flavour that is sadly missed in a speeded up video.

Great video! how's about the other 7! would be great to see! x

Salam from UK 🇬🇧. Beautiful videos brother.

Strangely satisfying to watch. I grew up in the Melton area but live down south now. Thanks for posting. Also, I've heard of rough riders in the US but were there also rough riders in England? Any more information greatly appreciated.

Very good! There is also a lovely circular walk from Houghton On The Hill parish church to Gaulby, Kings Norton and Little Stretton , 5 miles, which is well recommended.

I’ve driven the offroad section of Gartree road many times, you can get to Thorpe Langton driving mainly off road.

I've seen a few fantastic pictures of bucolic sceneries with sheep, hedges and pastures from Leicestershire and also from Derbyshire that made me want to visit these counties, but the few youtube vids I've seen so far failed to intrigue me. I've also seen some lovely English landscapes in the Fast Show. No idea where they were shot! They shot a lot in Yorkshire I read, but probably not everything.

Hinckley for life

Nice music

My ancestors came from Leicestershire to America. Is there any Purefoy's still in the area?
