This scenic and interesting walk starts at the famous Foxton Locks. It continues on part of the Leicestershire Round using good field paths to the lovely villages of Gumley and Saddington, taking in extensive views from Smeeton Hill at coffee break. We return back to the canal path for lunch and a walk back along the canal to the locks and canal basin where there are ample refreshment opportunities, as well as time to watch the boats ascending and descending.
There are a couple of medium length, but quite steep upward gradients, but take these at your pace. There may be mud on field paths and gateways after heavy rain.
If you would like to join this walk please contact the Leader using the email link. Numbers are limited to 25 walkers.
Please being a packed lunch.
