Summary
The Leicestershire Jubilee Way starts in Burrough Hill Country Park and ends at Brewer’s Grave just beyond Woolsthorpe by Belvoir. From Burrough Hill, the walk heads to Melton Mowbray, passing Little Dalby on the way. From Melton Mowbray, it continues north through Melton Country Park and alongside Scalford Brook to Scalford. The path proceeds to Eaton and continues through Barkestone Wood, leading to the impressive Belvoir Castle. The castle and its gardens provide a fitting highlight toward the end of the trail, which finishes shortly after passing through the pretty village of Woolsthorpe by Belvoir.
