About Austhorpe
Where to stay in Austhorpe
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Austhorpe Hall and the lengths of Grim's Ditch running toward Colton Common give the parish its landmarks, but rooms are another matter, and the practical bases are Whitkirk next door or the roads that thread out toward the M1. The parish holds hardly a room to let. Ivy House, Beech House and Park House carry names of their own.
Barrowby Road runs past the ditch.
