Overview

Heading west from the church we’ll pass South Lodge Farm then climb to the tack on the ridge. Turning left we follow a grassy track along the ridge top before turning right through fields and a small wood to join the Leicestershire Round for a short distance.

A grassy track passes into a tarmac track taking us to Leigh Lodge where we turn sharply left and follow the Rutland Round past Prior’s Coppice to return Braunston.
