Surveys

We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.

Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.

Help people know more about this route by volunteering to submit a survey.

A good walking route from Ashby to Normanton Le Heath, and then on to Ibstock. This goes through the Queen Elizabeth Silver Jubilee Wood and the Sence Valley Park, both of which are pleasant diversions. Overall, very pleasant on a dry day.

A few minor issues:

1. The cross-field route from Redburrow Lane to Normanton Le Heath follows a footpath down to a field of cows, but then the path seems to disappear. I managed to find a way through to Normanton Le Heath, but this was not obvious, and involved walking round the perimeter of a large planted field that seemed to block the direct route. I would much prefer to follow Redburrow Lane itself, which is an easy, pleasant country lane with hardly any traffic.

2. Having passed through the Queen Elizabeth Silver Jubilee wood, the route heads directly for Ravenstone Road, and then follows this for a few hundred yards. This is a busy road, and the grass verges are not all that good. For me, a preferable slight detour is to exit the Jubilee Wood as per the original route, then instead of cutting across the field towards Ravenstone Road, continue on the footpath heading down to the bottom of the hill, where there is a gate with a right turn that brings you out half way along that stretch of the road.

3. There are quite a few stiles on this route, so it is not accessible to all.
