In a re-run of the final leg of our Jubilee Way WALX we will travel from Woolsthorpe-by-Belvoir to Stathern and back, through the woodlands cladding the escarpment upon which the iconic Belvoir Castle sits. Partly following country lanes and cycleways we mostly use footpaths and pathways to return to our origin along the Jubilee Way Long Distance Path. There will be hills along this walk, but nothing too strenuous as we hug the contours of the hillside for most of the walk. 

This activity will start and finish at the same point. There will be the opportunity for a lunch stop mid-way through the walk, so don't forget to bring your sandwiches and drinks.

This walk is a Hardy inspired walk as we follow the Hardy Way along the Wessex Ridgeway back to the carpark.

It is a circular walk with gentle ups and downs following the Ox Drove. As we get closer to Tollard Royal we will encounter a steep decline.

Tollard Royal is a very attractive little village with a small pond and seating around it.

Leaving Tollard Royal making our way back to the carpark along the Hardy Way it is a slow incline at varying degrees along the way.

The bonus is that you are on a different ridge and therefore able to see a different view

Please bring a hat, suncreen and plenty of water plus a snack.

There are no toilet facilities at the location.

Walk Description:

 These walks take you any where and everywhere. The main focus of these walks are to explore the area, including open countryside, Nature Reserves, Canals and Parks and Gardens .

Depending on the route will depend on the terrain we will be walking over,  which may include some styles and rough ground 

The walks will vary each week and are lead either by an instructor or a walk leader.

Please be aware on this walk as it goes through some woodland the terrain in places can be quite narrow and the path in places  has exposed roots making it tricky in places   

The good news is there are no stiles !!!
