Tips from the Community
Top tip only park your bike on the left, (looking from the road) there is a sign to remind you when you arrive. Great service, nice little upstairs room when the weather isn’t so good, or sit outside side on warm sunny days, good value for money with the coffee and cake.

One of the best cycling coffee and cakes shops. Tracey makes many of the cakes herself.

Historically held by Radulfus Basset in 1166, the name of this village signifies 'farm/settlement on a hill.' The village witnessed the opening of the Great Central main railway line in 1899, with a station named after nearby Ashby Magna. Today, Dunton Bassett is known for the Dunton Bassett Arms pub, a primary school and a village hall donated by successful Leicester builder Orson Wright. The village's cricket club, established in 1870, actively participates in leagues, and the community once thrived with a combined shop and post office, though the latter closed in 2018.

Good road, one of my fave bits. It’s flat and the surface is pretty good so you can get some speed going as you race past the giant windmills in the fields.
