Circumnavigating Loughborough Town on a Crisp Autumn Day

[@coalvillenitewalker]

Nice video... I've done some of those paths myself and did a nice walk more centrally in Loughborough too. 👍😉

Great vid. River valleys after rain....thanks for reminding me to stay on the bike this time of year. There is a clock walk around Nottingham. Probably could invent one around Derby. There is a 43.5-km circular trail called Chellaston, Long Eaton, Stanton by dale circular . Described as 'challenging' probably due to distance to do as a day walk. 'From leicestermercury : The obelisk was built in the grounds of Garendon Hall in the 1700s when the property was owned by landowner Ambrose Phillips. The hall was once one of the county’s grandest country houses, but it was requisitioned by the army during World War 2 and was left in a bad condition. The planning documents reveal the manicured gardens of the hall have now disappeared, but the obelisk and other structures which originally stood in the grounds, such as the Grade II*-listed Temple of Venus and Grade I-listed triumphal arc, still remain. ' Work on the obelisk was held up by bats!

Thanks - I was rather delighted by the different terrain so close to the town boundaries (the boggy swamp aside perhaps!). Hmn, I bet the Notts walk would take me more than a day's hike, but probably worth looking into. 😃 Likewise the Derby one - as I recall the countryside around Derby is stunning! And ahhhhh it was the one with the bats! My brother suggested it might be that - the lack of any info on site (or G-maps) left me a bit clueless. Thanks for the info!! 😀
