Overview

A circular walk starting from Burrough Hill Country Park through some of the most striking and historic features in the landscape of eastern Leicestershire. The start is to a well-preserved Iron Age hill fort that dramatically crowns a steep-sided promontory of land reaching 210m (690 ft), with superb views. The route follows field paths, bridleways and some quiet lanes. There are 12 stiles en-route.
