The Fox

The Danelaw Way

Traces a 124-mile historic border between Saxon and Viking territories from Rutland Water to the Humber Bridge. Expect varied terrain – rolling farmland, ancient woodland, and riverside paths with gentle to moderate climbs throughout. Suitable for experienced walkers tackling sections; too long and challenging for young children or buggies. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Perfect for history buffs wanting a multi-day adventure through England's Anglo-Saxon heritage, passing medieval villag

Rutland Round

Circles England's smallest county over 105km of mixed terrain, traversing rolling farmland, wooded valleys, and the shoreline of Rutland Water. Expect moderate climbs, stiles, and potentially mudgy sections after rain. Not suitable for buggies or very young children due to length and varied terrain. Dogs welcome but must be under control near livestock. Offers stunning reservoir views, charming stone villages, and a real sense of rural Rutland's character across multiple days of walking.

Mowbray Way

Follows flat to gently rolling farmland and quiet lanes across the Vale of Belvoir between Melton Mowbray and Waltham on the Wolds. Mostly easy terrain on field edges and minor roads, though muddy after rain and some stiles may challenge buggies – better suited to confident walkers aged 8+. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Worth it for big Leicestershire skies, peaceful countryside, and connecting two charming market towns with proper pub stops at each end.
