Anstey Hedges Walk
There are many walks
in and around Leicestershire; the county has many beautiful
green areas and amazing panoramic views across the rolling
countryside. A lot of the mapped routes include natural history,
local heritage, and just 'show me the way' type walks. All are
of a circular nature, but vary in terms of length and
difficulty.A short and interesting walk is the popular ‘Anstey
Hedges’, which is 2.5 Miles / 4 KM round trip. The great thing
about Leicestershire countryside is the various pubs dotted all
over, so for this particular walk, pop into the Hare and Hound
for refreshment after a good hike.
