We are Coalville Ramblers - a friendly group based in the heart of the National Forest. We offer a programme of 3 walks each week, from 5 miles to 10 plus.
Join me on this surprisingly pretty and rural walk sandwiched between the A51, A38 and A453.
From the parking we walk along Knox’s Grave Lane picking up the Heart of England Way to Buck’s Head Farm. After crossing the route of the old A5 we pass Rookery, Hints and Woodside Farms before calling in at Manor Farm for lunch.
We then continue past the sand and gravel pits back to the start.
A few stiles but all easy.
Refreshments and toilets available at Manor Farm if using the cafe.
The track past the gravel pits is very sandy so care will be needed if wet.
Parking is in the large lay-by car park on the A51. If approaching from Hopwas it is at the top of the hill on the left.
