April 7, 2026, Rearsby Seven Arched Bridge

Constructed mainly of granite rubble and brick, the bridge features six clearly visible arches and a seventh arch that is partially hidden by the bank, with a low parapet and 3 rounded cutwaters on the east side. Formerly a crucial crossing for packhorses, it is now primarily a pedestrian feature adjacent to a ford, often used by walkers on the Leicestershire Round.

Interesting details are parts of the medieval wall and a rather blackened balance which survived when the earlier shop burned.

Home of the original pork pie - the special seasonal editions and cheese topped ones add a nice extra layer of flavour to the classic.

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.

A handy place to stop if the bonk threatens when riding the quiet lanes around here.

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.
