A mix of pasture and cropped fields some large but as always in Leicestershire gates and yellow topped posts make the going easy. Crossing a road we enter wide open space but the yellow topped posts were visible to show me the way and gates made boundary crossing simple, unlike the start where there were stiles. Under the power cables then a bridge leads into a pleasant strip of pasture after those large cropped fields. A pleasant recreation ground might offer a seat if you plan to continue beyond Desford and a shop will provide any needs....

Walk this routeThe left option has no steps or ramp and is a drop down to the road. Seemingly minor, but if not corrected and the correct option not made more obvious, future walkers will ask why no one mentioned it before!...

As you leave the village, you follow a the main road which has no pavement, but the road is straight and the verge is wide. Having crossed a bridge over the A47 you then leave Thurlaston Lane to walk along Earl Shilton Road, a quiet lane with no pavement but with great sight lines and is relaxing enough to able to enjoy the open countryside....

You're inexplicably required to leave the road you're on (through a building!) and then follow an alleyway back on to the road you started on....

A well marked combination of paths across a golf course, through a wood and then across a common deliver you to a very straight combination of paths and roads to the centre of Earl Shilton....

As the route continues it passes through, and around the edge of, more fields, before hitting a residential road that leads all the way to Desford where there is a cafe and pub, very close to the routes end....

I started this SlowWays path in Hinckley town centre, where there are plenty of shops, cafes and amenities....

The route begins in the town centre, passes through a few residential streets before taking a jitty down the side of a school college and out onto Hinckley golf course....

If it's hot, you can walk through the woods; the lane will take you down to the car park where there is a great cafe; or cross the open meadows....
