Funny that you can more just 4 miles west and you end up cycling in totally, different places! I now cycle in Rutland and Leicestershire, a lot more. Since Rutland, is not even half a mile down the road, then Leicestershire is just a, wee bit after that!
Check out the fun, but short route, I took over at www.strava.com/activities/1751856605.
That’s yet another UK Heritage railway line off my list! This time Great Central Railway – Nottingham.

Mark and myself had a great day at the Great Central Railway. We parked the car at Rothley Station, then got the train to Loughborough Central, then another train to Quorn & Woodhouse Station. Then walked back to Rothley Station with Cooper :).
So had a great bank holiday weekend. Done two heritage railways. North Yorkshire Moors Railway yesterday and Great Central Railway today. Now to think what line(s) we will do during the next bank holiday weekend :).

Not often, I am out cycling and something makes me stop and say “WOW what is the hell is that??” Well today, I found one of them places. Can’t really tell you think about it. Looked all over google. All that I can tell you, it’s called “Holwell Reservoir” also searching for “Holwell Works” and “Holwell Works Pumping House” will find some information, but mainly just photos that others have taken.

I had a great afternoon at the Great Central Railway. Only had the time to from Loughborough Central station to Quorn & Woodhouse station. Then we walked back to Loughborough Central station with the dog to where, we parked the car.
Lucky the dog, did mind being on the train at all. So next time, we go. We can do more of the line :).
