Go straight to the Vale of Belvoir Ramblers website or blog for all the information you need about our group including our Walks Programme.
From the wood, we will enter the Country Park and climb up to Old John Tower and the important geological site where the fossil Charnia Masoni was unexpectedly discovered by a schoolboy in 1957 in Precambrian rocks. We will then drop down to Newtown Linford and visit the art exhibition in the church before stopping for coffee next to the River Lin back in the park. The route back takes us to Cropston village along paths near the reservoir, across the dam and back to Swithland Wood.
Good tracks, good views and only two stiles.

We will stop for coffee at about 11am and then we'll also have a picnic lunch.
