Leader: Ginette Hsu.
The start will be from The Packe Arms at Hoton. This is on Rempstone Rd, Hoton, Loughborough LE12 5SJ (What3Words snowy.apartment.flirts). Please park at the top end of the car park. The Packe Arms will not be open at the start, but I have made a lunch reservation for 13:00.
The walk will proceed from Hoton to Prestwold, then onto Cotes, passing The Natural Burial Ground on the way. From Cotes, we shall be going along Stanford Lane towards Stanford. Before reaching Stanford, we shall be turning right to go on a footpath which will eventually take us back to Hoton. The walk has good views of open countryside and also Stanford Hall in the distance. It will use a variety of paths and tracks and a few road sections. It is just over 6 miles, mostly on the level and there are only a couple of stiles to negotiate. However, it is important to note that we shall be crossing 2 fairly busy roads where extra care will be needed. In addition, there might be some cattle in the fields behind Prestwold Hall.
