    Hiking

    The pretty Leicestershire village of Gaddesby is on the route of the Midshires Way long-distance trail between the Ridgeway in the South and the Pennine Bridleway in the North. Walkers can seek accommodation at the Cheney Arms pub here, which also serves good pub food.

    The village has a proud heritage. Its church, St Luke's, is Grade I-listed and originated as a Norman chapel. Every Christmas there is a cross country running event called the Gaddesby Gallop.

    Hiking

    St Luke’s Church is a Grade I listed building formerly associated with the Knights Templar. Known for its magnificent decorated-style architecture, 14th-century south chapel, and landmark broach spire, the church was significantly restored in 1859.

    Founded in the 12th century, the church was originally a chapel attached to the Knights Templar preceptory at Rothley.
