We are the Loughborough & District Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Park at Foxton Locks top car park (£3 all day) on Gumley road SP692 892
We walk alongside the ten lock staircase and go west To Laughton for our coffee break. We head N to Saddington then SE, crossing the outflow from Saddington Reservoir and climb Smeeton Hill for our packed lunch. We pick up the Leicestershire Round through Gumley, then on to Foxton where we join the Harborough branch of the Grand Union Canal and walk back to Foxton Locks. (We will check out the refreshment options on the recce; we are almost back to the start). We then head back to the cars checking out the site of the old inclined plane en route.
According to the website there is a £3 charge at the top car park, we will check out payment options on the pre walk. There are toilets at the car park.
