LEICESTERSHIRE FOOTPATH ASSOCIATION

Preserving Leicestershire's Public Rights of Way Since 1887

FOR ALL WALKS OF LIFE

Leicestershire is the gem in the heart of rural England. It is rich in history and natural beauty, and it harbours the best of both city and country life.

In Leicester, you’re never far from being able to enjoy fresh, clean country air in your lungs, revel in the soothing beauty of nature and drink in still and peaceful surroundings. There is no better way to experience Leicestershire than taking a long stroll through its rolling fields and soaking in the tranquillity around you.

The Leicestershire Footpath Association is the oldest extant footpath preservation society in the country and our wish is to preserve the freedom of movement that we all enjoy so that Leicestershire's natural beauty can be experienced through the generations and through all walks of life.

Please enjoy the website and if you have any enquiries; don't hesitate to Contact Us.
