Take a walk in the Charnwood Forest

A WALK through Charnwood Forest is taking place this weekend as part of the National Forest Walking Festival.

The nine-mile walk, expected to take about five hours, will take place on Saturday, May 19.

Starting from Copt Oak Church, next to Copt Oak pub, at 10am (parking at church courtesy of the church council), it will make use of public and permissive paths.

The walk covers some of the best countryside that Charnwood has to offer with magnificent views from the Beacon, Nanpantan, and Lubcloud.

It includes a stop at Lubcloud Victorian Tea room for morning coffee. Children are welcome if accompanied by an adult.
