Group Walk: Stoneygate - its people and places

Saturday 30 August at 11am

Starting outside Stoneygate Baptist Church, London Road.(Bus stop nearby)

Up to 90 minutes. Steady pace. 1.2 miles.

A repeat of the walk offered earlier this month.

Join us for a walk through the attractive suburb of Stoneygate, discovering some of its former residents and places of heritage interest. Formerly farmland, the area underwent development from the mid-19th centrury to become one of Leicester's most desirable locations. This walk is presented by one of our Walk Volunteers.

Information about the pace of our walks (and much more) can be found on our Leicester City Council Group Walks page.
