Would you like to get outdoors this winter and meet new people? Come and join a walkabout with one of our walk leaders in the beautiful woodlands at Londonthorpe and/or Bellmount Plantation.
There’s no need to book, just head along to Londonthorpe Woods Car Park for 10am on the advertised date, where you will find our walk leader waiting to take you on a Woodland Walkabout.
The walk will take in some of the magnificent views of Londonthorpe, Grantham, Belton Estate, the Mansion House, and Rose Cottage over by Syston Hall. There is no set route, and we will ask you if there is anywhere in particular you would like to go. We could stroll through Londonthorpe Woods, Alma Woods, Londonthorpe Village and Bellmount Plantation, including a visit to Bellmount Tower.
When you finish the walk, you may wish to visit the free-to-enter Grantham House for a well-earned refreshment. The walk will take about 2 hours and will be between 5 to 8 km in length.
