Overview

Farmland, woodland and some road walking (quiet country lanes, avoiding exceptionally muddy fields). Not particularly demanding, might appeal to someone considering joining Coalville Ramblers and wishes to try us out. Interesting features include two fords - pretty full at present but there are bridges for the less adventurous. There are six stiles.

Free parking at the Ram in Ibstock but please note there is a large sleeping policeman at the car park entrance - approach with care!
