Overview

Starting from Soar Valley Leisure centre we will walk to the River Soar and then follow the bank northwards. 

After passing the Waterside Inn we will cross the river by a footbridge

We will then walk through a section of Mountsorrel before ascending through the quarry to a view point,

continuing along footpaths and roads to Halstead road park then returning to our start point along the Leicestershire Round
