We are the Leicestershire & Rutland Walking Group. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
An 8.5 -9 miles walk from Donisthorpe Woodlands Centre, which was created on the site of the former Donisthorpe Colliery. The route takes us along varied terrain that includes tow path, maintained trails, woodland and agricultural land. Please be prepared for some muddy sections and note that the distance on the day will depend on whether we need to divert around flooded footpaths.
There are toilets at the soft play centre near the carpark, and also at Moira Furnace, where the old lime kilns will provide shelter for our lunch stop if it is raining.
Please dress appropriately, including sturdy waterproof footwear, and bring sufficient food and drink for a full day.
Please assemble in the Donisthorpe Woodland Park Carpark (believed to be free), off Church Street, Donisthorpe.
