Ashby Folville, a sweet Leicestershire village with a picturesque cricket pitch. Also has some fine modern houses. The church has a Folville tomb effigy of a knight with a lance sticking out of him, a graphic illustration of his death. The route begins by walking though someones garden. Then though horse county up and under the old railway, to Thorpe Sachville. From here the route goes though the 'Hall's' parkland, into a labyrinth where the route magically revealed itself though the trees, step by step. Then alone a single track lane, over a very high railways bridge, and back down across the fields past fishing lakes, across a cabbage patch, to Ashby Folville.

| Today's walk went north from Thorpe Sachville and back to Asby Folville via a single lane road- then route across the fields. |
