Overview

A varied walk through woods, fields and some minor roads. It's quite hilly (for Leicestershire!) so has some nice views. You can expect some mud and a few stiles too. We'll be having a coffee stop at Grace Dieu Priory, and a lunch stop at Hough windmill. At the start point there is a small free car park next to the Whitwick wheel, and a larger car park opposite.
