Sutton Cheney and Bosworth Battlefield

Today we braved the February weather and headed to the canalside. Leicestershire is replete with canals and all provide an easy escape to the countryside, though in this wet winter prepare for mud and make sure you pack your wellies.

Starting off at Sutton Cheney Wharf take an easy stroll down the path towards the battlefield visitor centre. I love walking in the woods, remember to look out for fungi amongst the trees. Up on the hill is the battlefield site, this is where Richard 3rd lost his life. There are lots of interesting signs which lead you down the hill to a quaint little railway station at Shenton. It was lovely and quiet along the canal on the way back, only a few hundred ducks to keep us company.

I love a good walk especially when there's a pretty good café at the end of it, so don't forget to pop back into the Wharf for a cuppa.
