Walks & Routes Nearby
We have listed below some of the local walks, footpaths and routes to get you out and about into the fabulous Leicestershire Countryside. From a short meander via pavements and lanes to the next village, or a day walking the longer routes, there is so much to see in our beautiful location.
The Battlefields & Borderlands Way book is in the accommodation (bedside drawer) and shows a wonderful (but very long) circular walk from which shorter sections can be explored by the avid walker.
