The walk will follow the King Richard III trail with plenty of time to read the information boards along the way.

We will then walk along the towpath into Abbey Park and back to the start.

It is certainly a different walk to one in the countryside but as it is all on paved paths it will be ideal whether it is raining or the evening sun is shining!

An added bonus is that the Leicester Morris are dancing at the pub at 9.15pm with guests Black Annis Morris!
