Looking for a last-minute Christmas gift that doesn’t gather dust? 🎄🥾
This walking guide by Barry Smith, explores some of the best routes around Abbey Grange and Mount St Bernard Abbey, from gentle 300m strolls to rewarding 9km walks. The book features seven carefully chosen walks, taking in lakes, woodland, rocky outcrops and the beautiful hills of Charnwood Forest.
All routes start from either Abbey Grange tearoom or Mount St Bernard Abbey, making them perfect for a relaxed day out – whether you fancy a post-roast Christmas walk to stretch your legs, or quieter winter rambles between festivities.
With clear distances, accessible paths and a mix of scenery, it’s ideal for anyone who wants to walk more in the New Year, rediscover local landscapes, or enjoy fresh air followed by tea and cake.
A thoughtful, practical gift for walkers, nature lovers, and anyone planning to start the year one step at a time. 🌲👣
