Harborough Magna
From The Old Lion pub, cross the B4112 and head up Main Street and into the village. Walk past All Saints Church, noting its unique clock face, and continue to the end of the village. Just after passing by Holly Cottage, go right over a stile and follow the footpath across cultivated fields towards Easenhall, climbing another stile. Cross a footbridge to reach the village, via another stile, near the thatched Campbell’s Cottage. Go left through the village down to a junction of roads by the village green, with the building of the former chapel facing you. The Golden Lion public house, restaurant and hotel is further up the road to the right.
Cross the road and proceed up a hedged footpath to the right of The Chapel House, by the wall of the house. After negotiating a gate and a kissing gate you will come to open countryside. Continue in a southwesterly direction and through a kissing gate, following a path heading towards a prominent footbridge over the main line railway. Cross the footbridge and walk ahead over the next field. Cross bridge No. 37 of the Oxford Canal, and continue ahead across pasture and beyond another kissing gate, arriving on a lane, via a gate.
