  • TerrainThe walk is mostly on good terrain (tracks, footpaths and a short section along a road). There are a few short steeper sections and it is mostly on ondulating ground.

This is a loop walk around Launde Abbey which will be touching stretches of the Leicestershire Loop. We will start the walk from Launde Abbey and walk around the picturesque countryside surrounding the estate.  The walk will take 2.5-3 hours.

Nestled in a beautiful and quiet valley, Launde Abbey was an Augustinian priory. Thomas Cromwell, Henry VIII's chief minister and responsible for the dissolution of the monastries, bought  Launde Priory but never lived in it. However is son Gregory did and he built the beautiful Tudor House we see today.

Address: Oakham Road Launde, Harborough, Leicestershire, LE158DT
