Well who would think the world could change so quickly? We're really missing welcoming guests on our electric bike holidays and can't wait to be able to welcome you back soon. The weather has been glorious and the woodland looks absolutely stunning. Outdoor attractions are beginning to open and everything is looking perfect for an easy UK cycling holiday around the National Forest. Are you open for bookings? We are enjoying a surge of interest in bookings for our EBike cycling holidays, so thought it would be helpful to share our plans. We very much hope to be able to welcome guests again in early July, subject to Government advice. We have a register of interested guests, who wish to enjoy a cycling holiday, when the time is right. Once we have more information from the Government, we will confirm bookings for everyone who has registered interest and then open any remaining availability to new guests. Due to demand, we are also now taking bookings for guests wishing to book an electric bike holiday in 2021. Safety of guests Guest safety is our number one concern. Our electric bike holidays are self-guided, so social distancing whilst you pedal is easy. Unlike some parts of England, much of the National Forest remains an undiscovered treasure. Your relaxing cycling holiday will take you through beautiful English countryside and alongside peaceful canals and rivers, that still remain largely free from mass tourism. The National Forest is full of places to explore and things to do, many of which are outdoors, or micro museums that you will often have to yourself. Take a stroll around the beautiful National Memorial Arboretum or marvellous grounds of Calke Abbey. Spend time learning about bee keeping or rural crafts. Enjoy a paddle down the gorgeous River Trent. Discover the railway heritage of the area at the two steam railways. Go back in time at the Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre or Ashby Castle. The area is full of lovely places to enjoy a drink or picnic alfresco and we will share all our favourites with guests. Luxury secluded accommodation To comply with legislation, we may have to make some changes to accommodation in the short term. Happily much of the accommodation we use is small, rural B&Bs, some of which only have one room. We also have some wonderful self-catering options, many with only one or two luxurious units. Our accommodation providers pride themselves on the quality and cleanliness of their businesses and have been busy adapting their businesses, to ensure the safety of their guests. It might look a little different, but a warm welcome is still guaranteed. Food and beer lovers will not be disappointed by the lovely options on offer around the National Forest. Many are now offering a delivery or take out service. Electric Bikes included Electric bike hire is included in all of our cycling holiday prices. We will sanitise bikes between bookings and re-sanitise touch-points when the bikes are delivered to your accommodation. We provide a GPS system and will email you daily route guides to print out at home, before your holiday, or follow on your phone. Guests also receive their own hard copy of the local Ordnance Survey map to keep. We will be asking guests to bring their own helmets, should they wish to wear one. What next? We would love to help find your perfect electric bike holiday. Contact us on info@ebikeholiday.co.uk or on 01530 417482 to discuss your requirements. We will not request any payment until we are able to welcome guests again. #UKcyclingholiday #electricbikeholiday #thenationalforest #easycyclingholiday

By Sue Jerham There's something magical about discovering a woodland floor, carpeted in a sea of bluebells. The bluebell is a sign that spring has definitely arrived in the English countryside. The National Forest is coming alive and summer is just around the corner. We love cycling or walking through peaceful woodland, enjoying the magnificent blue drifts of bluebells, accompanied by melodic birdsong. Here are our favourite places to enjoy bluebells in and around the National Forest. Calke Abbey, Ticknall, Derbyshire National Trust owned Calke Abbey is found in Ticknall, Derbyshire. With miles of woodland tracks twisting through the ancient woodland to explore, it's glorious in every season. It's easy to escape the crowds and find your own peaceful corner of ancient woodland to enjoy, both on foot or cycling. Once you've soaked up the peace of the woodland, head towards the new Explore Calke cafe, set by a small pond, in the woodland. The winding bench is a great place to enjoy a cuppa, before continuing with your day. The courtyard cafe, close to the House at Calke is a delightful sun trap and offers an excellent choice of meals and cakes. Moira Furnace, Moira, Near Ashby de la Zouch, Leicestershire Although the bluebell woods at Moira Furnace are not as extensive as others, it more than earns its place in a list of best places to see bluebells in the National Forest. Park or leave your bike in the car park and enter the woodlands by the gate to the right of the road into the carpark. You'll see bluebells almost immediately, together with a collection of woodland sculptures. There are many different trails to follow from the furnace, either by bike or walking. We especially enjoy cycling the Conkers circuit, which links some of the heart of the Forest attractions, via woodland and waterside tracks. Feeling hungry or thirsty? Hub Cafe is in the courtyard at the Furnace. It's a real sun trap on a sunny day. Alternatively, a short walk or cycle will bring you to Lakeside Bistro, which bustles with visitors throughout the day. If you're very lucky, you'll get a table outside overlooking the lake. Another favourite is to walk or cycle along the old railway line to the National Forest YHA, where you can also enjoy a delicious coffee and cake. We love cycling or walking through peaceful woodland, enjoying the magnificent blue drifts of bluebells, accompanied by birdsong. Jackson's Bank, near Yoxall, Staffordshire The woodland at Jackson's Bank, near Yoxall forms part of the Duchy of Lancaster's Needwood Estate. A site of special scientific interest, much of the woodland was replanted after the Second World War. In addition to a fine display of bluebells, wild garlic is plentiful in the Jackson's Bank woodland. The entrance to the woodland is home to one of the 6 Noon Columns, found in the National Forest. Designed by renowned sculptor David Nash, the 3 metre tall columns are carved from oak and represent the different landscapes found within the National Forest. Each column has a small slit, through which a beam of sunlight shines at true noon every day. The Meynell Ingram Arms in nearby Hoar Cross is the perfect place for lunch, after exploring Jackson's Bank. Holly Hayes Woodland, Whitwick, Leicestershire Situated on the edge of Whitwick, near Coalville, this beautiful historic woodland is cared for by a community enterprise. The circular Ivanhoe Way long distance walking route crosses through the woodland, together with a network of permissible paths. Spring is an especially wonderful time in this peaceful woodland, with bluebells interlaced with stitchwort, creating a fabulous display. Future plans for Holly Hayes woodland include the restoration of an organic community garden, as well as the introduction of a variety of forest experiences. Keep an eye out for expert woodsman, Tony, when walking through Holly Hayes. Tony is the latest in a long line of woodsmen, who have been caring for local woods for over 200 years. St Joseph's Tearooms is a short distance from Holly Hayes and is situated next to Mount St Bernard Abbey. The Tynt Meadow beer, produced by the monks of Mount St. Bernard Abbey is the only trappist beer produced in the UK. Swithland Wood, near Woodhouse Eaves, Leicestershire Part of the Bradgate Estate, this mature woodland comes alive in Spring. Situated to the North of Bradgate Park, the woodland includes both walking and cycling trails. At the heart of the wood is a large disused slate quarry, with aquamarine water and a sense of a forgotten world. A delight in every season, the bluebells make the woodland even more special. A special bluebell church service is held in Swithland Wood every year, to celebrate the arrival of spring. We especially enjoy combining Swithland Wood with a walk or cycle through the magnificent 850 acre Bradgate Park and a well earned lunch in the village of Newtown Linford. The Outwoods, near Nanpantan, Leicestershire South of Loughborough, you will find the wonderful ancient Outwoods, one of the oldest woodlands in the Charnwood area of Leicestershire. The 110 acres are crisscrossed with paths and the site is a Site of Special Scientific Interest because of the flora and fauna found here. Visit towards the end of the bluebell season and you can enjoy the popular sculpture trail that winds through the woods. Works are created by a variety of artists and range in size and materials. Highlights in previous years have included leaping horses, forest gatekeepers, felt flowers, tiny tree people and giant spiders' webs. A new cafe will be available at the site soon. Willseley Woodland, near Ashby de la Zouch, Leicestershire Located just outside Ashby de la Zouch and cared for by the Woodland Trust, this lovely wood is a fabulous place for a short walk. Much of the area was once a mine and the woodland is a fabulous example of regeneration of the countryside. Some of the first trees of the National Forest were planted here nearly 30 years ago. For those arriving by car, there is a small car park on the road between Ashby and Donisthorpe, signposted Oakthorpe Colliery Picnic Site. Well marked paths take you from the car park into the woodland and around a lake. In addition to drifts of bluebells, the area is always full of spring colour, with a wide range of wildflowers. Feeling thirsty after your walk? To the left of the entrance into the car park, on the opposite side of the road, you will see a gate and signpost for Hicks Lodge. A 15 minute walk, or 5 minute cycle, will bring you to the visitor centre, which is the perfect place to sit and enjoy a cuppa outside. Grace Dieu Woods, near Thringstone, Leicestershire Grace Dieu woods are found north of Ashby de la Zouch, on the road to Loughborough. Sustrans cycling route 52 runs through the woods, making it a perfect place to enjoy the bluebell display on a cycle ride. At the edge of Grace Dieu woods are the ruins of a 13th century Augustinian nunnery, which visitors are free to expore. The Bull's Head pub is found at the entrance to the woods. Alternatively, we can recommend the fish and chips at the award winning Ruby's fish and chip shop. Hyacinthoides non-scripta – The native Bluebell It's estimated that half the world's bluebells are found in UK woodland. The native bluebell can be identified by it's habit to droop to one side and white pollen. It also has a light scent. The upright growing Spanish bluebell (Hyacinthoides hispanica) was introduced to the UK in Victorian times. In some areas today, these have become established in woodland and cross bread with native bluebells. We offer a wide range of gentle electric bike holidays in the UK's National Forest, with lots to see and do along the way. Discover the hidden treasures of the National Forest for yourself! #NationalTrust #Leicestershire #Derbyshire #EBikeHolidayUK #NationalForest #UKelectricbikeholiday #bluebells #ukcyclingholiday #Staffordshire #Calkeabbey #electricbikes #easycyclingholiday #staffordshire #ukcyclingholiday #cyclingholidayideas

Cyclists and walkers can enjoy a new sculpture trail in the heart of the National Forest, exploring the industrial heritage of North West Leicestershire and South Derbyshire. The 7 sculptures have been installed by Black to Green, a Heritage Lottery funded project that has played a key role in celebrating and collecting memories of the industrial history of the area and it's transformation to a woodland forest. Following the Black to Green Cycling and Walking Trail The sculptures are located at key industrial sites within the heart of the National Forest. Each sculpture includes an interpretation board, telling the history of the area. 1. Furnace Plantation, Moira Furnace (in car park near the Furnace) Standing beside a restored stretch of the Ashby Canal, the working life of this blast furnace was short-lived. Having failed to be profitable, the building was used for housing from the 1850's until the 1970's. After major restoration work, the furnace is one of the best surviving examples of its type in the country. Today it acts as a hub for many local events, including a bustling Canal Festival and a respected folk festival. Walkers and cyclists can enjoy a gentle cycle along the Ashby Canal and through the adjoining woodlands. 2. Moira Junction South (on the Heritage trail, left at top of steps by National Forest YHA) The sculpture sits on the old Ashby railway, which was key for transporting the coal from the mines in the area. A signal box was situated at busy Moira Junction South and trains could be guided either towards Burton or towards Leicester in the East. The line closed in 1969. Today the line is used as a bike path, running from the heart of the National Forest, to Measham. 3. Albert Village Lake (by the lake) Albert Village was developed in the 1870s to house workers in the local clay pits and kiln yards of Swadlincote. The clay of South Derbyshire was prized and the area was once full of successful potteries. TG Green was famed for its blue and white striped Cornish-ware, which today is highly collectable. Local kilns also produced 70% of the salt glazed clay sewage pipes used in the UK, filling the air with acrid smoke. Opposite the site of the Timber Festival, the lake at Albert Village was a giant clay pit and operational until the 1970's. As part of the National Forest project, the site was transformed into a nature area, with an all-weather path circling the lake. Today the lake teems with wildlife and is an excellent local bird watching site. 4. Bath Yard Basin (near the canal bridge in Conkers car park) The Bath Yard Basin marked the end of the Ashby Canal and was also the site of a coal mine. When the shaft was sunk in 1815, workers found that the water was salty and therefore perfect for spa treatments. After a short-lived attempt to establish a spa next to the coal mine, the water was transported by tanks to Ashby Spa. Today, Bath Yard is the home for Conkers, Waterside centre. Visitors can learn more about the Forest and enjoy a wide range of indoor and outdoor activities. The amphitheatre is a lovely place to enjoy live music in the summer months. 5. Hicks Lodge (by the lake on the trail) It's difficult to imagine that 30 years ago this was an enormous open cast mine, over 200 feet deep and mined since the 1930's. Today, Hicks Lodge is the National Forest Cycling centre, with a lake busy with birdlife and leafy woodland of oak, ash and birch to cycle through.. There are a number of different trails, including several mountain bike trails. The Hicks Lodge Cafe is the perfect place to stop and enjoy a coffee and cake, sitting outdoors. Bird lovers will enjoy a stop off at the bird hide, situated by the lake and next to the Black to Green sculpture. 6. Thortit Pit (Oakthorpe Colliery site, in the picnic area opposite the car park) Known locally as Thortit Pit, coal mining in this area was first recorded in the 1600s. The first deep shaft was sunk here in 1787 and mined until 1810. Two new shafts in 1853 located a new seam of coal and also found additional coal in the seam that they had previously thought was exhausted. This led to the mine being know as “Who'd a thought it”, shortened over time to Thortit. Plagued with difficulty, the mine was closed after just 3 years. It reopened again in the 1860's and was mined until 1885. In later years, Oakthorpe Colliery was joined to neighbouring Donisthorpe Colliery until it finally closed in 1990. Today, the site is managed by Woodland Trust and is a lovely place for a picnic. There is a tranquil circular walk through the woods and around the lake. Look out for heron by the lake and for the capped off mine shafts in a clearing near the car park. 7. Donisthorpe Colliery (by the interpretation board, just through the gate from the car park) Donisthorpe Colliery was once voted Britain’s best pit, after breaking national records for coal production. Pit ponies were still used in the mine until the 1960s and it was one of only 2 mines still using a steam winding engine when it closed in 1990. The closure was surrounded by controversy, with miners protesting that there were still decades worth of coal left in the seams. 74,000 trees were planted at Donisthorpe as part of its transformation and it marks the current end of the restored section of the Ashby Canal. The woodlands connect the canal to the old railway line, now a heritage trail running from Measham to Conkers' Waterside Centre. The route forms part of the Sustrans Route 63. Creation of the National Forest Today, the National Forest is full of lovely woodland, crisscrossed with cycle paths and walking trails. 30 years ago, visitors to the National Forest area would have been greeted by a very different sight. Large swathes of South Derbyshire and North West Leicestershire were scarred by coal mining and quarrying. As the mines came to the end of their productive lives, an ambitious plan was borne to create a National Forest, in the heart of England, where future generations could cycle and walk through leafy woodland. The plan seemed like an impossible dream to many who lived in the area. And yet it happened. Fast forward 30 years and the countryside is unrecognisable, with 27% tree coverage, compared to only 1% prior to the creation of the National Forest. Electric Bike Holidays in the National Forest The National Forest is the perfect destination for an E-Bike holiday in the UK. Quiet cycling tracks and country lanes link a wealth of sights to explore. En route, cyclists can enjoy a warm welcome at the many cafes, pubs and restaurants within the National Forest. National Forest E-Bike Holidays offers a wide range of electric bike holidays, designed to suit all tastes and fitness levels. #BlacktoGreen #EBikeHolidayUK #UKelectricbikeholiday #electricbikeholiday #NationalForest #electricbikehire #industrialheritage #sculpture #outdoorart #artstrail #Leicestershire #Derbyshire

By Dulcie Flegg Perfectly situated in the centre of England, the National Forest covers 200 square miles, spread over Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Staffordshire. Although the forest is only 25 years old, over 8.5 million trees have been planted, creating over 400 beautiful woodland areas for the adventurer to discover.

National Trust Stoneywell Cottage is built in Arts and Crafts style and is very well hidden away in a quiet valley, surrounded by woodland and nature. The grounds themselves include a large vegetable patch and croquet lawn, as well as woodland walks. Visitors can relax with some homemade cake and a nice cup of tea on the lawns by the little teashop. Century theatre is Britain’s oldest surviving travelling theatre, and is designed to be completely mobile. It was created by an engineer called John Ridley, and was funded privately, with donations from a number of celebrities, including “Noddy” writer Enid Blyton, and detective novel author Agatha Christie. This mobile theatre was forced off the road after a change of legislation in the 1970s. It was initially sited in the Lake District, before moving to its home in Coalville in the National Forest in 1996. Today it is used for a wide range of community theatre and entertainment events. Moira Furnace is one of the best preserved blast furnaces in the country. It's life as a working furnace was short-lived and it was used as housing for mining families between the 1850s and 1970s. The furnace sits by a restored section of the Ashby Canal, close to the Conkers Visitor Centre. The Sir John Moore School, which is tucked away in the village of Appleby Magna, is actually used as the local primary school. The rest of the large Grade 1 listed building is used by the local community for various events, including a food fair every August. The building was originally created by Sir Christopher Wren for Sir John Moore, who later became Mayor of London! Melbourne Hall was home to Lord Melbourne, the namesake for Melbourne in Australia. The gardens are open to the public and are home to some of the oldest yew trees in the country. Discover the pet cemetery area, enjoy a rose-lined path that comes alive with scent in the Summer time, and of course, the trees are stunning in the autumn. The surrounding hall yard is home to many crafts businesses and a cafe. Mount St Bernard Abbey has recently become the only brewer of Trappist beer in the UK, joining an elite band of only 11 other breweries worldwide. The Abbey, set within the rolling countryside of Charnwood, is the only Cistercian monastery in England. Visitors are welcome to wander around the grounds and the church and can of course buy the beer -Tynt Meadow English Trappist Ale. 5 Noon Column Sculptures by sculptor David Nash stand in different parts of the National Forest. Carved from oak, each is slightly different to reflect the varied landscape and history of the National Forest. Several are well hidden in the Forest, ensuring a true adventure! So with all of this and much more to discover, such as the Battlefield Steam Railway, Breedon Church and Bradgate Park, there is something in the National Forest for everyone; from the avid adventurer, to the laid back holiday maker, you are guaranteed to have a magical time. Come discover the hidden treasures for yourself! #NationalTrust #Leicestershire #Derbyshire #EBikeHolidayUK #NationalForest #activeholiday #UKelectricbikeholiday #industrialheritage

We often get asked what's it like riding an electric bike. The answer? Just like riding a normal bike, but with a boost when required - and even more fun. Fun for everyone People of all levels of fitness and experience love electric bikes - even world champions like Victoria Pendleton. E-bikes are the perfect way to get more from your ride, whether you want to go further, keep up with a partner, recover from injury or simply have enough energy to enjoy the journey, Easy technology There's no throttle to master nor complicated process to follow with an electric bike – simply pedal and click for more or less assistance from the electric motor. Changes in assistance levels are smooth and gentle – no sudden bursts of explosive power. To recharge the battery, leave the battery on the bike and plug into a normal socket, or clip it out to recharge elsewhere. Even out differences in cycling ability Just like using gears, you choose how much help you want from your electric bike. This is perfect when people of different abilities are cycling together. Electric bikes make it easy to even out differences in cycling ability or fitness levels, ensuring everyone can reach the top of the hill together. Comfortable cycling position Many people are surprised at just how comfortable they feel cycling an e-bike. Electric bikes often use an upright cycling position, similar to Dutch bikes. Combined with the additional assistance from the motor, cycling an electric bike generally feels easier on the joints and puts less strain on the body than a traditional bike. Enjoy the benefits of cycling You still pedal an electric bike, meaning that you enjoy the positive health benefits of being active.
