Overview

Starting from Market Bosworth Market Square, in the morning we will do a 4.5 mile circular walk which takes us through Bosworth Park and then follows field paths to Sutton Cheney, where we will have a brief coffee stop. We will then follow a quiet, gated road back to the start.

There will be a lunch break in Market Bosworth where walkers have the choice of a drink in The Dixie Arms pub and/or various tea shops etc. Hopefully the weather will be good enough to sit outside and enjoy a picnic lunch in the square.

In the afternoon we will do a 3.5 mile circular walk which takes us north west to join the Ashby Canal, which we follow for a short distance before returning to Market Bosworth via a section of the Leicestershire Round.
