The Leicestershire Round - in Bitesize Pieces

[TVC]

Here in Leicester we are circled by a 102 mile route, The Leicestershire Round. It was developed a few years ago as a project to link footpaths, bridalways and green roads to give one continuous route around the county.

@Lullabelle and I have set ourselves a target of walking the entire route in a series of circular walks up to about 10 miles each. So far we've done about a third of it (though it has stalled a little of late)

Should not such a route visit Melton Mowbray for pork pies?

That's intersting. I wonder how long it took them to put it together? 102 miles isn't exactly going to be a quick job to mark out and plan and signpost. Well done them.

Good point although proper Melton pies and Stilton is available tbroughout Leicestershire. We are just very sharp about not letting the good stuff cross the borders.

Well done, sir.
