15/5/2026 Market Bosworth.

Nice sunny morning at Market Bosworth Country Park all ready for a walk up to the Richard the Third visitor centre.

 Off we go out of Market Bosworth towards the gated road leading eventually to the Visitor Centre.                                                                                          

On to the gated road.

Weather forecast was not brilliant

Which way are we going ?

This way into the fields and a little bit of mud.

Oh and a few prickly things here and there.

Crops growing well.

Across the picturesque bridges.

Great to get out and about in the fields again.

Yes we are sure we are going in the right direction.

Across this road and up a slope and we are at the Visitor Centre. 

Enjoying our cuppa.

Plenty of activity outside with schools visiting.

Okay lets get back out there and find a nice gentle walk back.

Just a couple of fields.

Won't be going across that way.

The slope down towards Market Bosworth.

                      

Only a mile back to the car park.

Great walk out today and hope with the weather changing a lot more finer days walking in the future.

8/5/2026 Wistow Garden Centre round walk.

Our regular walk organisers have taken a holiday so the responsibility for the walk has been passed to me.  

I walked the route the previous day with a couple of others.  Very enjoyable in the sunshine.

Checking out the walk.

 

Info for the walkers:

Weather for Friday currently forecast “Light Showers”.  Walk is from Wistow Cafe, across fields to Kilby and then along the Grand Union Canal and then back to Wistow.  Total Distance is 4.8 miles, the time 3 hours.

See Map attached.

Meet at Wistow Café at 10 am.

There are 7 Stiles on the walk. 

There were no fields with cows today.

For those who want to meet us for coffee and cake we should be back at the Café by 1 pm.

Please check Google Maps, when we went today there were road works on Foston Road, near to the junction with Welford Road.  (10 minute delay).  Looked like it will be completed by tomorrow.  They were filling potholes.

Photos tell it all. Great day out.

Thank you - a great walk enjoyed by all.
