Joining the Leicestershire Round for a third time, our walk continued uphill to a magnificent viewing point where a number of the small hills of East Leicestershire could be seen. On descending down the hill, we passed over the River Chater and continued onto Launde Abbey.
Walkers enjoyed a lovely lunch which was served to us in a marquee on the lawn at the rear of the abbey overlooking the sunken gardens. Plants could be purchased at reasonable prices and money dropped into an honesty box.
