Overview

From The Globe carpark we will take a leisurely walk following the Ivanhoe Way to the  Ashby Canal, arriving at Shackerstone Station for lunch. There is a charge of £1 for a Platform Ticket which will allow us to use the toilets and café for a drink and something to eat if wanted. We can eat our sandwiches outside on the benches.  There is also a small museum for railway enthusiasts. From Shackerstone we make our way back to The Globe.

There are 5 or 6 stiles.  No hills.  First part of the walk is across crop fields -care needs to be taken as path has become overgrown. There is also some lane walking and canal walking on the way back.  Hope to see you on 6th August.
