13 Nov 2022I walked this route with Mary and Hugh on 12/11/22 as part of the slow ways swarm. This is a short, direct and enjoyable route connecting Mountsorrel to Sileby! (full review and photos to follow).

13 Nov 2022 (edited 16 Nov 2022)The route from Mountsorrel leads through a couple of car parks and along an offroad path through housing, to a pretty, wooded, but noisy path alongside the busy A6. This is crossed through a brightly graffitied underpass, then field paths lead across to a footbridge over the canal at Sileby Lock. Some of the path involves concrete “planks” – I suspect these fields may occasionally flood. A pavementless road (not too busy) led to another field footpath and into Sileby.
A pleasant route apart from the road noise.

13 Nov 2022 (edited 14 Nov 2022)Walked from Mountsorrel to Sileby, with Saira, Mary and Tim on the Sunday of the November swarm weekend. A short easy route, pleasant apart from the traffic noise on the short section along the A6.
Leaving the meeting point on the Green at Mountsorrel, we cross Leicester Road (there is a pelican crossing a short distance north/left. We cross the car parks opposite then turn left along the surfaced path beyond the second car park, then right through a residential estate, Beyond Leander Close we go left a short distance to find the signposted path through the small wood parallel to the A6. We noted that the direct line used by MOUSIL 1 and MOUSYS 2 is fenced off and probably not just dangerous but impossible without trespass.
The path through the wood is unsurfaced and a little narrow, but not too muddy. It leads easily to the obvious underpass under the A6. Beyond the underpass we go left a short distance to find the popular path into the nature reserve (not marked as a right of way on the OS map). This crosses fairly directly to the Soar bridges at Sileby Mill. Beyond the last bridge we go left to Mill Lane and follow the lane right, taking the field path right just before the junction with Mountsorrel Lane. This unsurfaced field path is popular enough to be easy to follow, but can be a little muddy. We emerge on High Street, where we cross the road and turn left, turning right up King Street to the Sileby meeting point.

03 May 2021This is the most accurate route connecting Mountsorrel to Sileby.
Only really a route for walkers as many stiles and a very rocky path in one place so not bike friendly either.
Very picturesque in places.
