From your start exit Burbage Common via the access road, at the lay-by turn right to reach Leicester Road (B4668). Cross to LHS ( Great Care !). After 100m turn left into Hinckley Rugby Club (Bridleway Sign), run between clubhouse & pitch to a bridle path which leads up to a white house. Turn right onto a metalled lane (Barwell Lane), follow this under the new A47 to the B581 Barwell High Street. Turn right and continue approx 400m to the mini roundabout in Barwell centre, turn left on the B5325 for Stapleton, after approx. 1 mile turn right at the T-junction (A447) and run up into Stapleton.

After the church turn left into Dadlington Lane, and follow this for approx. 1.2 miles, taking the 2 nd footpath to the right (SP ‘Leicester Round'). Follow this field path over stiles to reach the access road to Poplars Farm, turn left over the canal bridge and immediately take the LH stile and steps down to the canal towpath, turn left back under the bridge and follow (with canal on RHS) to Sutton Wharf Bridge where you cross to the other bank: Go under the bridge, up the steps to the left, turn left over the road bridge and left again over a stile, crossing the car park to again pick up the canal path.

Follow the canal path, continue straight through Ambion Wood and up onto Bosworth Battlefield. Exit the site (straight on-ish) via the access drive (in the distance you may see Mkt Bosworth Church, which is the general direction you will follow). At the end of the drive at the T-junction with the road, keep straight on to pick up the field path, and follow the way markers over stiles and stream/bridge to reach a lane. Turn left and run up hill on this gated road to Market Bosworth.

Revised this year: At the top of the hill TURN RIGHT (the ‘wrong way’ on the one-way road), and follow on to the change-over adjacent to the Market Bosworth Hotel (to be confirmed). .

Note: Please park considerately. Pay and Display parking in Bosworth Country Park, or road parking near the church.
