I'm not really a fan. Last year I rode the final bit of a Bristol(ish)-Coventry (ish) ride along the Fosse Way. Traffic was a bit busier than I'd like, but not altogether bad. If I'd been in charge of the navigation we'd have gone parallel to the Fosse Way. But I wasn't.
However carrying on North from there in the direction of Leicester it gets a bit nicer.
