Having crossed the Avon back into Leicestershire, there's barely any lane walking until this takes you a right of way, which takes you almost all the way to Walcote. A short section of walking along a quiet lane takes you to Walcote, where the pub appears to have closed, but there's a petrol station for supplies....

The start of the walk involves a lot of pavement pounding and in hindsight might have been a nicer end as there are many food, drink and supply options as well as buses near the start and the very well served railway station which the route passes. After a passing under the railway, the route follows a few more main roads before joining the Great Central Walk, an old railway line which is popular with local walkers. The section to the west of the old railway consists of a field crossing, a walk through a yard, a crossing of the A5 (which was comparatively easy but might need some care) and then a series of barely trodden paths that were happily marked, now I'd crossed into Leicestershire....

Walk this routeIt is a very enjoyable route, shared with the Shakespeare's Avon Way and Jurassic Way - the sign posting is missing on occasion, so be aware - and crossing the Grand Union Canal....

When I did the walk it was also really boggy after Lilbourne Gorse and on the way to the A5, and the final route to the A5 was across an unmarked field. At the top of the hill the route skirts the edge of the woodland and then surprisingly for a long distance walking route, the path loses the way markers. The route down the hill towards the A5 was also unmarked so I had to rely on my phones GPS to navigate to the road. On the other side of the road, the path is very unmaintained (photo 12), and I can imagine doing it in spring or summer would be very difficult and tough....
Steve Litchfield
Both this walk and Stawes two were not walked when I was researching which to take, and despite this being slightly longer I chose this as their was slightly less road walking involved with this route. The OS map shows a more direct route past Winwick, and I wondered why this route took you through a slightly longer route past the Mill House, but the slight diversion proved worthwhile as we caught sight of some alpacas in the well kept grounds of the Mill House....
Steve Litchfield
The route around the village of Lilbourne could have been a little more direct, we couldn’t see a particular benefit to the route that had been chosen there. As the first reviewer mentioned, at least two pubs en route, a coffee shop and village store, but nothing at Stanford so I would suggest getting something earlier on in the walk....
LauraPD
There was one field which was severely overgrown, we managed to push through but I can imagine many would be put off and you certainly wouldn't have got a wheelchair or buggy through it, the undergrowth was up to our heads! I don't think the overgrown areas would be so bad in winter and as this hasn't been reviewed before I wouldn't want to put anyone off walking it....
