The Battlefields & Borderlands WayLeicestershire FootpathsWalk the Leicestershire Round Beautiful Leicestershire
Hall Farm is situated directly on the 1485 Sculpture Trail depicting The Battle of Bosworth and we are lucky enough to have a Trail Waymarker on our farm track. Guests can walk up our farm track directly from the farm and either take a very short circular amble to see our animals ending back at out driveway, or you can pick up the Public Footpath and head out for a longer walk. We have direct access to the Ashby Canal where the towpath provides scenic walks in both directions, meaning you can head to the pub, cafe or even up to the Battlefield Heritage Centre and Steam Railway.
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 pub in the next village, or a day walking the longer routes, there is so much to see in our beautiful location. You can also take a look at our Out & About page for activities and days out.
Easy 15-20 min walk to the pubs in Stoke Golding – an easy 15-20 min walk via road and lane – 40 mins circular if you’re not stopping at the George & Dragon (country real ale pub), Three Horseshoes (sports, darts and pool) or White Swan (currently under refurbishment). We recommend using Stoke Lane during daylight and using the pavement via Hinckley Road after dusk. Feel free to borrow our torches from the bedside drawer or kitchen cupboard.
From our top courtyard, head up the grass track between our fields along the gravel pit top to the two sets of kissing gates, turn right through the kissing gate and take the track between our fields down to the next kissing gate and stile heading straight on down to the canal bridge.
Head to the entrance to our driveway and take the gate into the field track (can be exceptionally wet). Take the first stile right into the neighbouring field straight down to the canal bridge.
Left out of our driveway down Sutton Lane to the canal bridge then take the steps down under the bridge
Walk Dadlington to Sutton Cheney via road – 40 mins – please note this walk start with lane and ends in the village, however the middle section is 50mph road along the Fenn Lane with grass verge. You can walk to the Hercules Revived pub but we don’t recommend this after dusk.

The Leicestershire Round – a very long circular walk can be broken down into shorter walks for the avid walker.
The Battlefields & Borderlands Way book is in the accommodation and shows a wonderful (but very long) circular walk from which shorter sections can be explored by the avid walker.
