We were up in the local wolds this afternoon, near Wymeswold. I’ve discovered a Leicestershire-focused site called Choose How You Move, where I found the Wymeswold Parish Walks file under the walking section.

As is often the case, following the route took a little guesswork but it does include a map down to the level of field boundaries so, as long as you can remember how many fields you’ve gone through, it isn’t too hard to figure out where you probably are.

It was relatively level although with a few rough patches and probably hard going after wet weather. I think the best spot was probably in the middle of this map, when you can look roughly south west and see the land rolling all the way down to Loughborough and beyond to Beacon Hill and its neighbours.
