Starting from the car park at Burrough Hill, walk along thr track until you
reach the Leicestershire Round Footpath off to your right. Turn right along
the path. Follow this path, with the Leicestershire Round waymarks, as it
goes over a ridge and then continues along the ridge just below the top. At
the end of the ridge, turn right (still on Leicestershire Round), and head
across the undulating countryside to Somerby.
When
you reach the road in Somerby, turn right. Shortly after the telephone box,
turn left down a driveway to the stables. Then fork right along a footpath
which traverses the valley to Burrough on the Hill.
When
you reach the small country road, turn right towards the village. At the
junction turn right, then take the path off to the left (near the church).
As the path splits, go right, heading to the left of Burrough Hill iron age
fort.
Where
you meet a track with the Leicestershire Round, turn right. Continue along
this permissive route until you reach Burrough Hill. Here you can climb onto
the iron age fort, before continuing along the track back to your car.
