We are the Rutland Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
This is a fine walk in an undulating landscape, with good views across Leicestershire and Rutland. We start by heading south towards Loddington. We then follow a bridle track eastwards, skirting Launde Park Wood. A section of the Leicestershire Round takes us north into Leighfield, before we return to Launde Abbey on the tarmac lane. There are a couple of hills to negotiate, but the walking is generally good - on lanes, farm tracks and field edges. Very few stiles on this circuit.
As this is a relatively short walk, a picnic lunch is not required. We will have a brief coffee stop half way round. Launde Abbey does have a rather splendid cafe (drinks, sandwiches etc) if you fancy some refreshments at the end.
Additional Information:
Dogs are accepted on this walk, but must be on leads at all times.
Do please share transport if at all possible.
In the event of very poor weather, please contact the walk leader to check if it’s going ahead or not.
