Helmets are like seatbelts; they won’t keep you out of a crash,
but they could save your life. (Helmets should conform to

This walking and cycling route runs out of Leicester to Syston and Cossington
Birstall
Watermead Country Park (North)
Cossington*
A short walk or cycle ride from the Mammoth in
Watermead Country Park finds you at
Birstall Lock. The bridge at the lock is now fully
accessible to cyclists, people using wheelchairs
and parents with pushchairs.
The northern end of Watermead Country Park,
much like the southern, is an area of wetlands. The
largest lake is King Lear’s Lake, a popular fishing
spot, also used by several clubs and societies. The
lake’s edge is home to a dinosaur play trail and
close-by is a bird hide and wild-flower meadow.
Cossington is a small village to the north of
Watermead Country Park. The village is home
to two garden centres and a public house, The
Royal Oak.
On the other side of the bridge sits the scenic
White Horse pub, and it’s only a short walk from
here to the shops and services of Birstall.
Thurmaston
Thurmaston village is linked to Birstall by one
of the many Connect2 routes. It is only a mile
across Watermead Country Park from village
to village, using the new route.
The bridges at Thurmaston Lock (improved as
part of the Sustrans Connect2 Project) lead you
out of the park through Mill Lane to Melton Road
- home to village shops and pubs.
Syston*
Syston town centre lies to the north east of
Watermead Country Park. The town features a
large shopping area and has a railway station with
links to Leicester, Loughborough, Nottingham and
beyond.
Just across Wanlip Lane from the northern
entrance of Watermead Country Park is the Hope
and Anchor pub, popular with canal boaters. This
is one of several pubs and places to eat in the area.
* Please note that two short sections at the
northern end will be temporarily closed for new
works during summer 2012.
Syston: Fosse Way to town centre - closed during
Summer 2012 for surfacing work.
To Cossington: canal towpath from Meadow
Lane bridge to Junction Lock - closed after June
2012 for work on the towpath and installing a
new cycle bridge at the River Wreake junction.

The town lies on the edge of Charnwood
Forest. The rocky hills of the area include
Beacon Hill, formed after a volcanic eruption
560 million years ago, making them older than
the Himalayas. This hilly area provides some
challenging road riding, with fantastic views and
many villages to choose from for a rest stop.

Loughborough’s town centre plays host to a
street market, which dates back to 1221, and
several green spaces including Queen’s Park with
its famous Carillon. The park’s cycle paths lead
to Charnwood Museum, a great place to
delve into local history.
