this path along the track between fields until you reah the Leicestershire
Round. Turn right, and walk along the Leicestershire Round footpath until
you reach the road. At the road turn left.
At the

On the main road, turn left, walking up to a footpath leading past the

Keep on this footpath until you reach the road at the edge of Bruntingthorpe.
Turn right, and walk along the road, bending left then right again.
At the

road bends, walk straight on along the footpath, past the Manor House, then
follow the field boundary. Keep on this path to Peatling Parva. Cross
straight over the road, and walk up a path by the church, then bend off to
the right. At the track turn left, and where the tracks cross (on the corner
of the woods) turn right. When you reach the lane, turn left again.
At the
road, turn right and walk west along the road. Then, at the bend, take a
footpath on the left, to the church, where you will be back at the start.

This
walk, incorporating a large section of the Leicestershire Round
involves quite a bit of road walking. However, it is a pleasant walk, with
easy sections along quiet country tracks, largely unsuitable to traffic.
