Activity

These walks will take us to all different parts of Market Harborough coming across areas you may not be familiar with.
The walks will be between 3-4 miles, taking no longer than 2 hours and be mostly urban. Incorporating parks, canal and our repurposed ex-railway lines, the walks should be straightforward. We hope to find every jitty and walkway in Market Harborough over time!
By starting either in Welland Park or the town centre, anyone without transport be able to join the group easily.

Where and when

The walks will be on the first Thursday each month at 11am starting November 6th 2025

Other information

Maximum number is 30.
