Mince Pie Walk - Sence Valley Forest Park, Leicestershire

Postcode: LE67 6NW, Gridref: SK403112

An 8 mile route starting and finishing at Sence Valley Forest Park, this is a beautiful walk just outside Ibstock off the A447. The walk will start from the top car-park, this is a restored site where open - cast mining was once used to supply the power industry, there are now three new lakes. Mince pies will be generously supplied by the walk leaders which is why we have limited this walk to 20 places. You will still need to bring your own packed lunch and drinks - there are toilets in the carpark but no facilities or pub stops along the route.

Please park in the Sence Valley Top Car Park (now believed to be £1.95 for the day). Payment must be made by phone or via an app - full details on display at the carpark.

1. You MUST RSVP on Meetup if you wish to attend this walk.
