Overview

A 9.5 mile walk from Huncote to Stoney Stanton and back via Croft. The walk is mainly level, passing through a mix of fields, woodlands and urban areas, but towards the end of the walk there is a short but steep ascent to the top of Croft Hill where there are great views across Leicestershire.

There is potential for a brief pub stop about 1.5 miles before the end of the walk, but this will be dependent on time as parking is limited to a maximum of 6 hours.
