This walk links some of the small pockets of country parks in the Charnwood Forest, a very unique landscape between Leicester and Loughborough, famous for displaying some of the oldest rocks in England where the first published discovery of Precambrian fossils took place. We will meet at the Outwoods Woodland P&D car park at 10am (OS Grid Reference SK514159, W3W \\form.signature.tripling, nearest postcode LE11 3YG) This is a large car park with cafe and toilets, £2 fee for the day. We will walk through the bluebell carpets of the Outwoods via Woodhouse Eaves to Swithland Woods, Bradgate Park, Beacon Hill and Buck Hill back to the Outwoods, 12ish relatively easy miles with 600m ascent.

Please let me know whether you would like to join the walk.
