The Leicestershire Round

The Leicester Round is an official 110 mile walk around the county, passing through canal areas, iron age forts, woodland and lots of fields! I walked this during the year of 2006. It has been split up according to where buses can to caught to and from. As from 29th April 2006, see and hear the walk by clicking on the pictures.
