Worth a visit

This is the Anglican Church built in 1876, which stands on the site of the first Christian place of worship in Glenfield, established sometime before 1086. The Domesday Book of 1086 shows that a priest resided in the village of 'Clanefield' (now Glenfield), and records list the Rectors from 1220 AD. (Originally, a Rector was the priest who held the right to a tithe (tenth) part of the parish crops, while a Vicar was appointed and paid by the Bishop).

This nature reserve was created primarily for Great Crested Newts. The site has several ponds as well as areas of meadow grassland and is surrounded by mature hedges and trees bordering onto the former Western Golf Course along its eastern side.

A showpiece fortified manor house rather than a castle, the brick-built Kirby Muxloe Castle was begun in 1480 by William, Lord Hastings. Hastings was a leading supporter of the Yorkist King Edward IV. But when Edward died, the future king Richard III suddenly denounced Hastings as a traitor, and Hastings was beheaded without trial. Work on Kirby Muxloe Castle stopped, and the castle was never completed. Kirby Muxloe Castle is currently open at weekends only - for pre-booked guided tours.

The tree that was felled had been the village Christmas tree with lights etc for years, and this seemed a good way to commemorate both it and the mining in the area. Lots of quiet lanes round about and the old Fosse Way can be found nearby.

This is a great road with fantastic views over the Leicestershire countryside. A short stop from here is the Whetstone Gorse fisheries which are lovely to walk around.

Beware of the Sheep!!!

The Fosse Way is a Roman road in England that runs from the southwest to the northeast, connecting the cities of Exeter in the southwest to Lincoln in the northeast. It is one of the major Roman roads in Britain, and its name is believed to be derived from the Latin "Via Fossa," meaning "dug road" or "ditch road." This straight track is part of the famous Roman Road.
