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 Mandy on this countryside walk starting from the Ram Inn, Ibstock, via Sence Valley, and onwards to Ravenstone. From there she takes the walk to Snibston via St Mary's church, the smallest in Leicestershire and onto Donnington Le Heath. The walk then wends its way to Ellistown via the Brickyard before arriving back at the Ram for welcome refreshments. The walk is relatively flat with only minor inclines.
There are a number of stiles
Lunch will be taken at Donnington Manor House
Toilets only available at the Ram.
Sence Valley is a relatively new Country Park from re-claimed opencast mining. It has recovered after a fire some years ago destroyed a considerable amount of woodland. New areas expanding the park have been planted and are now starting to mature. Snibston is a tiny village with only a handful of houses and St Mary's church the smallest in Leicestershire. Ellistown Brickworks was part of Ellistown Colliery until it split into a separate company in 1936.
