April 7, 2026, Rotherby Church

All Saints Church in Rotherby, Leicestershire, is a charming 13th-century church situated in a village named from Danish roots meaning "village of the cross". It likely sits on a much older, pre-Norman site. The church today is a notable site for "Champing" (church camping), offering unique overnight stays.

I love this climb. Like everyone says it is nice and steady and a good length. Watch out for the Get Busy Living Centre promoted by Matt Hampson and also the Airborne Memorial on the left. If you want a harder climb to Burrough try the nearby ascent from the Dalbys.

There is a reasonable view from the very quiet lane running from Owston through Maresfield to Twyford. Freight trains were using the viaduct until 1964 and the track was lifted soon after that.
