Overview

NOTE - This walk has changed from that originally planned. It will still start from Loughborough but now be a 10 mile linear walk via Zouch & Sutton Bonnington to Kegworth. It will use buses rather than the train. We will try to use some new paths in the Garendon Park Estate west of Loughborough. Meet St Margarets Bus Station 8.30 am for 8.45 Skylink Derby bus. Walk starts at 9.25am from bus stop outside Lidl on Derby Road, Loughborough. Skylink bus back to Leicester from Kegworth. (The original circular walk to the east of Loughborough will now take place on Friday 4th April 2025.)
