Two Towns Trail

Leicestershire

50 km / 31 miles
The Two Towns Trail passes through some delightful east Leicestershire countryside. From Market Harborough it makes use of the Grand Union Canal to head towards the village of East Langton. The Leicestershire Round is joined briefly to reach Stonton Wyville from where a section of Roman road is used to reach Illston on the Hill. From the hamlet of Rolleston field paths lead to the village of Skeffington where a gated road is taken to Tilton on the Hill. From here the route leads via the hamlet of Lowesby to the small village of Twyford, with its 13th century church, through Ashby Folville and Kirby Bellars to reach Melton Mowbray.
