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.

Starting from the gate Hugglescote, we walk to Donnington le Heath and through the countryside to Sence Valley. A walk around the Valley leads us onto the village of Ravenstone. From there we will walk to and around Snibston Country Park. We then start to head back towards Hugglescote via what remains of Snibston village past the smallest church in Leicestershire, St Marys. Passing through Grange Farm over fields before heading back to the Gate for refreshments.
Toilets available at Sence Valley and Snibston Discovery Park
Refreshments available at both the above
3 or 4 stiles only
The walk is mainly over open fields and countryside. Two country parks and 4 villages make up the rest of the walk. Sence valley is now a fully established part of the National Forest after a fire a number of years ago destroyed a lot of the area. Snibston Country Park is a relatively new development but has been established for a number of years now with fishing lakes and a mountain bike track. The Century Theatre is based here, along with cycle tracks and cafe.
