Overview

The walk takes us through Meadow Park, along Kingston Brook and up to Fox Hill before dropping down to the outskirts of West Leake village. We then work our way up to Cuckoo Bush Farm and then along the plateau of the West Leake Hills, passing the Cuckoo Bush, made legendary by the Wise Men of Gotham, and Rushcliffe Golf Course. We return to East Leake through village housing, circling East Leake Academy, and then back through Meadow Park. Be warned that the paths near Kingston Brook may well be very muddy.
