Overview

Leaving the Star, we head west along Melton Lane, then walk along Landcroft Lane towards Sutton Bonington. We cross the bridge over the main railway line then walk through Sutton Bonington for a short way before following a road which leads to the River Soar. We have coffee at the lock gates (approx. 3 miles from the start) and then follow good field paths back to the Star.
The paths are generally good but at this time of year there will be mud and slippery areas, a walking pole is recommended. Proper footwear and protection are advised. There are several stiles. 

If you would like to join this walk please contact the Leader using the email link and include your phone number.  If staying for lunch please arrive by 9:45am in time to to pre-order your food. Numbers limited to 20 walkers.
