Trains and boats and the dead centre of Wigston.

The walk goes along the towpath of Grand Union Canal, crosses the mainline railway, skirts the edge of urban Wigston and through the cemetery and back along the canal to the pub.

It is likely to be muddy along the towpath but the middle bit of the walk will be mainly on tarmac.
