WALX Leicester East

Walk Description:

The Glen Parva Nature Reserve and Great Central Way provide a fantastic opportunity to explore the local area and the wildlife found within it. This Explorer WALX is for pole walkers and non-pole walkers alike and will provide a friendly, sociable opportunity to find out more about the world around us, while getting fitter at the same time, taking in the canal towpath and the historic Aylestone Meadows!

Pace: Steady, to suit the group. If you would like to use walking poles, we suggest you sign up for our Power of Poles training if you have not already been granted your Freedom Passport.
